Harris Lake geocaches
Here’s a link to my page about the recent geocaches I hid at Harris Lake. I had a lot of fun putting them out there. I hope people have enjoyed finding them too.
Wish I was kayaking…
Just adding a short video to watch when I can’t be on the water. It might not be the most pristine shoreline but it’s better than sitting behind a desk. Progress Energy has been doing a lot of clear cutting of trees on the eastern shore (which is where I was standing). Some of the trees have ended up in the water. I’m sure that makes the local fishermen very happy.
My new KAYAK!
Yay!! I got my new kayak and I am so excited. I’ve had a kayak for a couple of years now (check out my “Hobbies” page). Anyway, the old one is considered a touring boat. That means it’s long and narrow and used for longer trips- usually cuts through the water a little easier. On the other hand, it’s hard to carry and not as stable as some of the wider boats. After a suggestion from my Dad (he made it over and over), I decided to sell the old one and buy a new one.
This is the NEW one.
I researched for a crazy amount of time. I’m so particular when I buy something that is expensive. I also want to find the one I’ll be happiest with once I’ve made the purchase. First, I checked out the Old Town Vapor. Rented it, tested it out…thought I was convinenced to go with that model. Then, after a trip to REI, I was introduced to the Perception Prodigy. Love at first sight. No hesitation. I ordered it online and waited with anticipation. It finally came in and I took it out for it’s maiden voyage on 7/7/11. It was everything I had hoped it would be. You can expect me to post lots of pictures from future trips. I’m so happy!
