I LOVE kayaking so much!!!
It all started about 20 years ago while camping with the kids at Pawtuckaway State Park. I saw a mom and her son in a Kayak... and thought to myself... that looks fun!
But it wasn't until the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area held their very first Kayak Program that I got to try it out! Oh my gosh... LOVE at first paddle! ;)
Enter the Red Kayak...
This fiberglass white water racer from the 1970s was given to me! That's when the love-affair began! (Thank you so much Bernie!)
It began...
My first paddling adventures began in 2014 the not-so-deep Deaver Reservoir. I didn't have a clue what I was doing! Getting in and out was the most difficult part! Gradually I worked up my confidence and began boating up the Bighorn Canyon!
The love affair began... I so enjoyed paddling along near ducks and other birds... watching fish jump and swim by...
Here comes Tigress...
This is a big year for me. I turn 50 (how I feel about that... well... that's a whole blog post yet to be written!) anyhow... I decided that I would treat myself to a new touring kayak. After much research and help from Andy at Gradient Mountain Sports in Cody WY, I decided on a Wilderness Systems Tsunami 140 in the awesome custom color of dusk.
I've had her up the Bighorn Canyon a few times...
