Who has paddled this year?
 

Where did you go? What did you wear?

Little Beaver Creek
 

Paddled Sprucevale to Ohioville on Little Beaver Creek on March 9th. Water was really cold. Low 40s? Wore a Farmer John wetsuit over a full suit of polypro, wool sweater, neoprene boots over wool socks and paddling jacket.

Kayak fishing on Mosquito Lake, March 17th wetsuit and fleece. No fish but a great day to be on the water.

On January 17th did swift park to canoe city
March 9th sprucevale to Ohio River

Headwaters park with just pants and a sweatshirt but was ill prepared for the white caps on the lake from all the wind. Was a tough paddle and if I didn't hike prior I would have worn my shorty wetsuit.

Allegheny National Forest
 

Paddled Spring Creek in PA, a trib of Clarion River, in January. Had wet suit and semi-dry top, neoprene gloves & boots, etc.

Mild solo trip, with one stand out moment. On shore to look at a strainer, and making my way down the bank under the trees, and a big widow maker fell on my head, drove me straight into the ground. If I hadn't still had my helmet on, I think I would have been in serious trouble. Did get a concussion though, and felt the effects for a couple of weeks.
