(May 2004)
Launch Point: Battenkill Canoe, Ltd.
"Anybody see a river nearby here?"
'Commadore Bob' ("Um, I guess we'll go THAT away.")
The Put-In
Lets see, the map says it's all Class I! No Problemo!
Off and floatin'...
Marie's First Kayak Adventure (Pre-Tree)
Rush Hour on the Battenkill.
Cool as a (teal) cucumber!
Neat, huh?
"Hey, Dick! Does this thing feel a bit 'tippy' to you?"
See--Foxes CAN float!
View from the helm.
"I'm too cool for a canoe!"
"Yeah, well, so are we! Stay away from the chicks!"
'The Rock.' Are there supposed to be waves on Class I water?
Well, at least there's supposed to be WATER!
Don't pay the ferryman until you get to the other side...
Yaarrrhh! On the prowl for sunken treasure!
Lookin' good!
Hey! Catch that cooler! And the jackets! And...!
Single? Any singles here?
The family that floats together...
...paddles together!
Who needs raingear, anyway?
Look, 'Big Bird' showed up!... (Sorry, Tom)
...and 'Animal' too! (Sorry, Tom)
The 'Flamingo Kid' made an appearance...
Waitin' at the bridge.
"GPS Jeff" knows where we are!
Anybody got change for the Coke machine?
Is this the valet parking area?
(Thanks for the change--I owe ya!)
A rare sighting in America--The English!
This looks like a good spot for lunch.
Chocolate donuts anybody? I brought extra!
A very busy 'Olde Time' bridge.
Anybody know where we parked the blue kayak?
(Maybe the dog ate it!)
