MONDAY MORNING KAYAKING….

ON MONDAY MORING…
Monday was a beautiful blue sky day…we decided to get the kayak in the water and go for a paddle…This little park is right around the corner from L&S Resort….along with a couple boat launches…ball field, play ground, picnic shelters….all the things these little Florida parks have for having fun…

Sandy got the kayak all aired up and we were off …while Sarah sat with the pups under a pavilion…They have a two person kayak…

The pix below was on the way from the boat ramp…going into the lake…

Just before heading out in the lake..it started to get a little rough….the wind was blow a good clip…and we could see a few white caps on the lake…I was not comfortable going any farther…

So we turned around and headed back the way we came and explored the area close to the ramp ..lots of lily pads and grasses that grow in the water…

It was pretty calm here but still had to paddle against the wind…I see lots of birds but could not get good pix…not fast enough and not a good camera…

Headed back to the ramp…I think after canoeing  with Soos and then kayaking in a two person Kayak…I like and do better in a single person water vessel…

Here is Sandy showing me how to deflate and pack up the Sea Eagle…it sure would be easier hauling around rather than  a hard body kayak….

After that…
We went to Crabby Bills ….and that and the rest of the afternoon …will be in the next post thanks for looking and come back soon…

PART TWO…

The landing…
Here come the first of the weary, wet, and tired cacher’s this was a canoe trio that had a very rough trip…they flip about 4 times…and they were looking a little water logged when they got back…Please click on all the pic…to see better….

This is them…click on pic to open and see for your self how wet they are…and the other things was they were so busy trying to stay afloat that they did not get one geocache.!!! It was one wild ride for Sue…

And here come a few more…they all said it was a rough ride but the had so very much fun..some would and some wouldn’t do it again…

Coming ashore…they all had a ball even those that ended up in the water…

The problem with this float was…
It has been raining here for weeks…so the Shenango River is high and running very very fast…so not a good float down a lazy river (which it normally is) looking for and logging geocaches…not to mention the beautiful PA county side along the way…All said and done there were about 20 who did the “float” There are two sections to this cash float this was the first half…total there are 100 geocaches along the river so far…with I think they said were going to do about 50 more that would take them to the Shenango Damn…I don’t know if I will ever have the opportunity to do this float or not…need a kayak first and a partner or partners to do it with…I  know that I would like to …but who knows…Son has been here last 2 days making progress…will finish up new kitchen floor, and another coat of dry wall mud on hole in wall….and hope to get up to the attic…as the garbage goes tomorrow….so all for now thanks for looking and come back soon

NEAT KAYAK & SOMETHINGS…

One of our day camps…
This is one of our favorite day camp sites over at Wickham…I was walking back to the park from the campground and see MySweetDream…sitting there waiting for us to come back….looking good  across the pond we parked by.

This is a very neat kayak ….
This is a crazy kayak that I saw at the home park last weekend…a man and his two sons were going out fishing…the black rig looking thing is some kind of fishing rig filled with fishing equipment …it is to large for the kayak..so it looks like he put a couple floats on each side of the kayak to keep it sturdy and up right….right click to make larger..he has one son in kayak with him….

And the other son…older ….
even tho he was the older of the two…they still were not old enough to be out alone…so the father tethered the older boys kayak to his…right click and you can see…the older boy did a good job with the paddles so he was never being pulled along by the other kayak…

And Maggie girl….
And here is my Maggie girl playing with her new bunny…she got it for Easter….I have never seen a dog that plays with toys like she does….from the very first day I got her…she knew that the couple toys by her bed were hers and she knew what to do with them..she taught me how to play doggie games…lol…she was only 8 weeks old…she was playing while I am working in the RV..

Where oh where is bell???
Wondering where is bell…hope she did not take any “party” detours along the way…here are a few friends waiting on her arrival…Where are youuuuuu????

I am still working on packing and arranging and rearranging the RV…taking things out and putting things in…I was going to take along things to make …but then decided this is a work trip for me…so took that stuff out..most of it anyway…I am excited and nervous at the same time…my first long solo trip…I think I will be stopping at WM, Sam's, Cracker Barrel etc.… for over nights…I need all my $$ for gas!!! It is getting warm (hot to me) and muggy so I am  looking forward to some cool northern weather….  all for now thanks for looking and come back soon.
