: I realize that this is a kayak building forum but there's such a
: diverse group of people on here from all over the world and I
: thought it would be neat to see where - in the world - you like
: to paddle.

: Here's my suggestion. Find your paddling spots on Google Earth.
: Click on Edit then Copy View Location. Then Paste your
: co-ordinates into a forum posting. To view the posted locations
: - copy and paste the co-ordinates back into the Fly To box in
: the Google Earth Menu bar on the left of the screen.

: Anybody interested?

: : I Guess you all won't be coming down here to crowd me out, so here is a recent paddle location I found myself in.Fresh hot spring water where I had my liquid lunch on a clear frosty weekday morning.Not a soul for miles.Maybe 30 degrees C Which after half an hour of slobbing got too warm for comfort.I put in several km up stream on the Waikato river and drifted down on a decent current and up into this side creek following a trail of steaming water up to it's source , a nice little bathing ,paddling area,just off the back road I didn't know about.The coordinates are from my trick camera ,so "no responsibility taken" if you get lost in outer Mongolia.
