| no partners | | A moderate paddle in Topock Marsh. For quite a while, a couple years, I hadn't been leading many, (if any) activities for a local group. I decided to start doing it again. I'm glad I am, because it's fun. As I mentioned elsewhere, sometimes I just get tired of my own company. It's true that going solo you may see more. But today I don't think I would have seen the bald eagles that one of the other two gals spotted. Too far away for a photo, though. We also saw grebes, great egrets, great blue herons, and the ubiquitous coots. It's duck season, so of course we didn't see any ducks. Those guys are hiding! We saw duck hunters in kayaks!
I had never before paddled through the large pipes into the intake/outlet canal. It was fun. It's not possible to do unless the water is exactly at the right level. It has to be deep enough to float a kayak, but not so deep you can't get through. The water doesn't rush through, so doesn't seem dangerous. Someone took a photo of me from the back as I went into the pipe. |
