Couple Hours on the River
Turned out to be a beautiful day for kayaking. Loaded up early and headed up the Gorge for a couple hours of paddling. Was cool and rather bright for a gray day. Not another boat on the river as far as I could see. Could tell I had not done much over the winter as … Continue reading
