I dropped the kayak off at the first bridge just upstream from my house, tucking it away a bit so it would be obvious, then drove up the hill to the garage. I had a pleasant walk back down the hill and put in on the sandbar under the bridge.

I leisurely paddled and drifted downstream, it was only 8:15 AM, still plenty of time before I started work at 9:00 AM, no need to rush.

Right upstream of some of our light rapids I came across a fallen tree and a spring running into the river.

After the spring I ran through the rapids. I couldn't take any pictures since I had to paddle. Just past them I came across some of my noisy neighbors.

A little more paddling around the bend and I pulled up into my front yard.

These kayaks aren't too heavy, so I can safely lug it out of the river and haul it up the hill on my own, good thing I have been doing those pushups though.

This easily makes the winter worth it. So, how was YOUR commute today?

My commute is not nearly as awesome as this one!! Glad you're enjoying it there.
Lets see... 15 minutes of NPR swine flu reports. One left turn, two right turns. Umm... Oh yeah! My wagon is at 199,200 miles!! That's exciting!!
Austin, this is unbelievably awesome! What a way to start your day, huh? Jealous - but happy for you!
We did a canoe camping trip up the Allagash River in Maine several years ago - nothing beats floating down a river. :)
Awesome!
LOL nice, Austin!
