Wes, Having started with a kayak in Michigan [Jackson] I can well understand your situation with a lack of near-by paddlers. As you indicate however, flatwater lakes [and rivers like the Grand-surprisingly good fishing for Walleye just north of wate water treatment plant in Jackson btw] are, with a firm understanding of the basics, a very nice way to paddle solo. I was just directed to a very close-by local lake [Kitsap Lake] and am considering possibly going that route perhaps-for the INITIAL paddle this season. Your comment about your trip-and how you handle a coffee cup, makes me think that perhaps on the Lake, I will choose to do the same.<g> Your post also got me maybe, missing Michigan a bit, so I did the next best thing, and "called home..." <G> Um... if the weather forecast is accurate, tomorrow may be my chance... Take care, Tom... *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sun Apr 23 2000 - 16:41:41 PDT
