Kayaking, Cause It Was Cool

We were pooped, but the kayak was at the lake. So we took a nap, had some sup & a break. It was heavy, far to carry & my hand did ache, We slipped it in the water and took turns paddling. Cake!

Silver Lake Flats, above Granite Flats in American Fork Canyon is up a bumpy, winding road. The water is very low and it has just been enlarged to double its usual size. We had to carry the kayak from the road about 1/4 mile to reach the water. It was a killer for me, the wimp.

Oh, but I really wanted to give it a spin on this remote lake. Even though we had just completed a five mile hike, I talked Allan into having a nap and give kayaking a whirl. So we did. The water was so calm as we veered away from the many fisherman along the shore. I think we will really like this kind of boating. Our new kayak even has places for fishing gear. Yeah!!
