Personally, I’m absolutely thrilled that the weather has improved so much. The sun is shining brightly and it’s abundantly warm outside. Of course, that all makes for “perfect” kayaking conditions. However, there is one small call of nature that can change things a bit – the WIND! Our goal today…
A friend of mine and myself decided to embark upon an awesome kayaking adventure today. During the morning hours, we kayaked upon Fish Lake and in the early afternoon hours, we drove just a couple miles down the road to enjoy Clear Lake. This post will be about our adventures…
Even though I was a bit tired from our adventure at Fish Lake, I had already made the decision to kayak Clear Lake. So, we loaded our vehicles and drove about 2 miles south on McKenzie Highway from Fish Lake. So, first and foremost – parking! Plain and simple: they…
My trip today was so overdue and so needed!!! The last time I had kayaked was the first week of April. Due to the weather and also waiting for a new tire for my vehicle, I missed out on a lot of great days. BUT, today’s adventure was absolutely perfect!…
