So i went paddling last thursday, and set off hitchhiking up the road, and walked every freakin step to the put in. first time ive had to walk all the way. saturday i got a ride from the take out and didnt have to walk a step on the road, so i guess it evens out, but i mean shit, walking the whole way with a boat on your shoulder,in a wetsuit,in the desert sucks. on the other hand,i think paddling season is just about here. the water is rising, turning brown, and logs are starting to float down. the wave is getting big, and the river is begining to take shape. weather has been great, so im figuring on snow here prolly tommarow. but ive been rockin trunks and t shirts with flip flops, and everyone looks at me like im lost. but whatever, its the desert, its all good.
