That’s awesome. I think if I had a place on a lake, I would want a guide boat
.
what happened to the SUP thread?
or have I gone completely mental?
.
I don’t know if you’ve gone mental or not but I don’t see it either. That’s weirdQuote:

Nice spot and slick boat. You’ve kept it nice
Thanks. She's a pretty girl, and it took me three boats to find one that I could paddle for any length of time with my long legs. Her forward cockpit is higher than most I've seen. Completely effortless to paddle and not constricting. Wish I knew what it was!Quote:

^^That is an awesome pic.
Spent a few days last week paddling the Southeast Arm of Yellowstone Lake and hiking up the Thorofare Valley. Great trip, can't wait to go back.

Very cool, yeahman
Dang, that sure is purdy.
Can the kayak be used for food storage so you don't have to hang it up?
Not much sign where we were at this time of year. The park service lifts the seasonal bear-related travel restrictions around the lake in mid-July because the bears are mostly in the high country. We did talk to some people who saw a griz at close range farther up the Thorofare Trail.Quote:

I’m jealous. Haven’t done an overnight at all this summer. Checked out a new place near home today though- Monksville Reservoir. It was only dammed and flooded in the late eighties so there are still at lot of dead trees upright. These bird houses are a mystery to me though.

I got to volunteer as an escort for two Hudson River swims this summer. I’m glad I did. I5 was a cool experience. First one was on August 5- Newburgh to Beacon which is about a mile. The organizers said most swimmers would do about a mile and a half once the tides factored in.

The second one I got involved in was Nyack to Tarrytown, which is about twice the distance.

If anybody wants to read about it, it’s up on NYSkiBlog. Just hit my link. I’m really glad I did it. I recommend finding events like this and getting involved.
OK, gotta ask:
what's up with the pool noodles?
.
they’re a poor man’s flotation device, to help a swimmer who is having trouble. At both swims, the organizers handed out a noodle and a whistle to all the kayak volunteersQuote:

Yeah, that cliff just looks scary. I think mine stopped moving like a million years ago maybe. Hope I didn’t just jinx myself
