We were not able to pull off a big trip this year so we went to a nearby pond and got in a couple days of paddling. The trip was great with unusually warm weather. Salmon were running, bighorns were grazing, and powerboats were minimal. An explanation of the music selection for this slide show. The guy in the green kayak always sings the first song. The problem is he only knows the first 3 lines so I thought if I put it in the show he might get the whole thing down. The other songs are by Dougie Maclean. If you are from north of the line think of him as the Gordon Lightfoot of Scotland. His songs are about place, friends, and family and mostly positive. If you have not listened to his song "Ready for the Storm" google it, every kayaker should hear this song. If you like his music I suggest the "Essential" album and "Inside the Thunder".

I should have a short version and a Youtube version out in the next couple of days. As usual the link below is the photodex version of the slideshow which requires downloading a free driver but it usually plays very nice.
