The Duffel Bag: Paddling

Where the spirit leads the feet will follow.

Down distant paths for unmapped miles.

Heads forget but hearts remember:

The art of living knows no bounds.

New SUP

I finally joined the SUP Club. Mainly looking for another fishing option that is more easily stored/transported in our current truck/camper set-up. This can go most places a freshwater kayak can take me but is a lot more compact.

Kelly Road Paddle

Back on Lake Sonoma this morning taking advantage of the calm conditions and nice weather.

We paddled out Yorty Creek, crossed the main lake and explored what I call the West Kelly Road arm. From there we paddled down the lake a ways, then retuirning back to Kelly Road East, Yorty Creek, and the take out.

About 9.5 miles total. No hiking on this paddle.

Fall Yaking At The Ahj

Our annual Fall pilgrimage to Northeast California for leaf peeping, kayaking, and boat-in camping at Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park. With Jeff, Karen, Scott & Jen, David, Silo & Milo.

We had a near full moon for two nights, so got in a moonlight paddle and an evening sitting at waterside enjoying fun conversation and Lady Luna.
