Florida wildlife – November 2018
Florida wildlife – November 2018 My big brother Derrick, my cousin Kelli and I went for a paddle off Weedon Island and also visited a local preserve. Florida’s flora and fauna are very different from what I’m used to in Pennsylvania. It was very cool to see a variety of things I don’t get to…

Observations from the first two years of kayaking
I’ve been kayaking for two years and one month. My first post about kayaking is a sprawling post about my first two paddles but one that I’m really happy I wrote and published. In it I show exactly the types of things a new paddler worries about; falling in, being cold, getting in and out…

Kayaking Merli-Sarnoski County Park in May 2016

Merli-Sarnoski’s Mountain Mud Pond is an excellent example of this. The entire shoreline of the pond could be paddled in under an hour yet…

Paddling for snapping turtles
Check out this guy (or gal). A screenshot from a GoPro video. This past Saturday afternoon we had some beautiful weather and so I went kayaking at a nearby lake. This time of year is an incredible time to paddle since every animal is very active, making nests, waking up from the winter, preparing for…

Kayaking Quaker Lake and Lake Carey
Last weekend my friend Eric and I went paddling around Quaker Lake and Lake Carey; each in northeastern PA pretty close to the New York border and each equally different. Quaker Lake is a beautifully clear glacial lake that does not allow speed boats or jet skis and has some really well kept and manicure homes…
