Can't speak to LA freeways, but I've been on lakes that put me in mind of the Detroit or Chicago versions. But not this afternoon. Tom and I took advantage of Good Friday afternoon off and a pretty nice day, and took our boats down to Lake Hudson, the first time we'd been out since Sunday. There was a nice breeze blowing; we even got buzzed, by a friend in his antique Luscombe, wings waggling in greeting. We saw a number of geese on the nest, including one small island with at least nine nesters. We saw four sandhill cranes getting matey, and an egret. We even saw a loon. The only thing that went wrong was that I left my boat shoes at home and had to paddle in my stocking feet. It was good to be out and put last weekend behind us. My grandfather taught me well: when you fall off a bicycle, pick it up and ride it again. Thanks to everyone for the support and encouragement. -- Wes --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wes Boyd's Kayak Place http://www2.dmci.net/wesboyd/kayak.htm Kayaks for Big Guys (And Gals) | Trip Reports | Places To Go | Boats & Gear --------------------------------------------------------------------------- *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
