May 10-11 weekend
Well I had a great weekend. I kayaked Pa Grand Canyon by myself with the water up. I had my sea kayak loaded down with camping gear. I didn't get on the water until almost 7pm and you have to paddle 5 miles before you can camp. I saw about 7 kayaks and canoe on my way to camp, all swamped, they were open boats and were not expecting the waves. I just leaned on the paddle and did the 5 miles in 45 minutes and had my camp set up before dark. The next day I dressed for the waves with a dry top and stayed nice and dry until at the end while getting out of the kayak I rolled over. Yes, on the boat ramp. I had left dry bike clothes with my bike. I then biked back 17 miles before the storm hit, the car was only 1 mile away at that point. when I got back to my nice warm car, I realized that I had not left dry clothes in the car. Woolrich has an outlet on the way home, I now have a very nice camping outfit.
