I did not know it at the time we were driving up to the lake that morning, but soon after I would experience one of the most enjoyable kayaking I have ever done. Although we had the day planned for a bit of kayaking, we both were not really feeling...
We pulled in too, and camped at, Bayou La Rose for our first full work-week in Louisiana. Kerri found this small campground and decided to stay out here, as opposed to closer to Lafayette-proper, so we can more easily kayak on any day we want. The campground (Uncle Dick Davis...
Not happy just hiking the canyon, Kerri and I set out to kayak the beast once the wind died down. With referrals from multiple other couples, the kayak trip was on our agenda for some time. It would be our first time putting-in this year. The wind (and Texas dust)...
I happily went along with the idea of extending our stay in Oregon. Kerri discussed it with me back in Idaho, and she knows damn well how I feel about California. I am forced to return to my most-despised state eventually, but entering only at the last minute an exiting...
This past weekend was a year and a half in the planning. During our visit to, and kayaking of, Grand Teton National Park in May of 2015 we spotted some boat in campsites on Leigh Lake and we just knew we had to camp there. From that day on, the...

Who wouldn’t take the opportunity to kayak in any of our National Parks? Kerri and I jumped at the opportunity the same day we arrived in the Port Angeles. We drove to Lake Crescent, part of Olympic National Park, and set out for what was to be a paddle under...
We stayed this past week at Deception Pass State Park on the Northern Washington coastline. Deception Pass is an extremely picturesque area of old-growth forest in what is really a pretty populated area of Whidbey Island. The park offers stunning views of the Puget Sound region, has it’s fair share...
Whittier took me by surprise. In fact, it was not on our itinerary at all due to earlier advice that there was “nothing there” from other travelers. With the choice being Whittier or extra days sitting in the big city of Anchorage, we took the drive through the tunnel into...
The plan was so perfect; after leaving Hope and on our way to Whittier we would stop in for a quick paddle through Portage Lake to view Portage Glacier up close and personal like. When we got to the lake, we sought out a launch location from the visitor’s center...
