It's been awhile

It's been some time since I posted and for that I'm sorry.  Summer hasn't been all work.  We got out kayaking a few times.  We have a new place we like to go to; it's Little Lake in Peterborough.  It may not be exhilarating but it has plenty of variation and a nice beach for swimming when the water is warm enough.  There is the lake and also some channels behind the campground.  The railroad crosses one end of the lake on swing bridges which add some fun to the paddle.  At the west end of the lake there's a huge fountain.  Very tempting in the stinking hot weather.  Of course we can then wrap up our day out with a visit to Costco.  I'm sure our soggy, dirty look entertains the shoppers.

This is also the location of Sally's famous demonstration of the semi Eskimo roll in August of 2008.
Getting out with the kayaks became infinitely easier when we got the truck.  Not only is the roof lower than the van for loading it is easier to with some slick Yakima roof racks.  All the gear goes in the back of the truck and we aren't too worried if it's all wet either.  Getting changed in the truck is a bit tricky but since neither of us have been too shy the parking lot suffices.  This also scares off any people that want to come and talk kayaks.  Not as though I mind talking but everyone else has a better kayak and can't wait to tell you about it.  They either have longer, lighter, more stable etc etc.  But we are out in ours and they are just talking about it!!  For the record the blue boat, which is really H's is a Necky Santa Cruz and the green boat is a Necky Manitou Recycle.
