LOL Maine Dog, I have an image of a madman paddling away while sitting in a kayak perched on a Subaru winding it's way through the woods. Goggles. Life jacket. The works! Spring has finally made it's way to northern Pennsylvania. The days are warm, the nights cool, daffodils are in full bloom, the forsythia bushes are stunning and there are even dandelions! I took the kayak out today, the first time this year! It was fairly windy and the water was choppy, very choppy. I was planning on taking it easy today and just enjoying the moment. Well, I certainly did enjoy the moment but taking it easy just wasn't an option. Once I got to the middle of the lake and then around the bend, the wind kicked up. Instead of a leisurely paddle, I was given a complete workout by Mother Nature. The spray from my paddle blew back in my face, the trees along the shore were swaying as the wind howled. Did I turn back? NO WAY! I waited far too long to be out on the water and I pressed on! I saw a few varieties of ducks and watched the show the swallows were putting on. It was wonderful! The fields were covered with a mix of bright green, new grass and old golden weeds from last year. The pine trees were green (of course) and the hardwoods have the slightest hint of buds, no leaves just yet. Now for the question. Has anyone been out for a sojourn? If so, how many days? Lots of people? Solo?
