paddling 1:39:00 [3]
I am very excited to say that I have accomplished my goal of kayaking 50 Lakes/Rivers this year.
Lake/River # 50 Big East River
Today I had to drive to the Burks Falls area to exchange a wonderful birthday gift. My friend Sandi came with me for the ride with the purpose of paddling my 50 lake on the way back. We had not yet decided where to paddle, only that it would be in the Huntsville area.
The day got kind of late for several reasons so our decision had to be not too far out from highway 11 because it was nearing 4 pm and the days are getting shorter. We did not have time to drive around and look for access to anything that looked interesting and therefore, consulted our trusty Backroad Mapbook for any lake that had an access point listed.
We decided on Fish Lake but upon arrival found it too dull for a grand finale. It has no bays or islands, basically a fish bowl. (ha ha)
Our next choice was the Big East River off Lake Vernon and it turned out to be a great pick. Too bad we had so little time to paddle before dark. We have decided to come back next year and make a day of it.
