TCT,

Since it's the dead of winter, the hot stove season, I sometimes daydream of paddling, especially of paddling when the creeks and streams are running high in the early spring. But there are other aspects of paddling trips?the camaraderie, the wildlife, the scenery, etc.?that attract each of us to canoeing and kayaking. Just to generate some discussion on the board during this time of paddling doldrums, what aspect of paddling trips do you like the most and the least? I hope some of you will chime in. Here are mine:

Like the Most
1. Arriving at the put in, full of anticipation for a great day on the river, and seeing who else has shown up.

2. Rounding a bend of swift-flowing water.

3. High cliffs along the river.

Like the Least
1. Organizing gear the night before a trip.

2. Stiff head winds.

3. Really low water.
