See you there

New Years Day Paddle

A very cold day.  The water froze on the boats and Kilts adding about 10 pounds to the weight (or was that all the donuts Rick packed in the cockpit). We went from Keystone to Sping Grove in under 4 hours.

I wish there were more pics to share but my fingers didn't like coming out of their gloves.  Click the link to see the pics.

Scout the Nip 12/18/2010

Don, Bob and I took a walk along the Nippersink to check the Water and Ice conditions.  Our thought was to see what type of Plan B location we might need for the 2K Adventure New Years Paddle. 

We found that the creek was frozen in several places and unless there is a thaw, we'll have to go to Plan B.
