I spent the day finding gear for an upcoming kayak sojourn. I will be paddling approximately 100 miles in 5 days (a bit more I believe) and camping out along the river's edge. I had really wanted to go last year but didn't think I was strong enough...this year there is no question. I'll post photos on my return for sure (www.freewebs.com/lilyfestre) Our bodies are amazing.....truly amazing.
