About this time of year my winter drooling is in full force. I pour over maps, pictures, and websites dreaming/planning of where my family and I will find ourselves in terms of outdoor excursions this summer. The picture above is the Green River in Utah. While not likely this year, I do hope to paddle the calm 120 mile stretch of river from the little town of Green River down to the confluence of the Green and Colorado rivers in an upcoming year. Below is where we plan to paddle this summer-the famous Bowron Lake circuit. At a 116 kilometers long, we hope to take about 10 days in August to soak up the scenery and be reminded of God's expressed majesty through nature.
Below is us in our former boat last summer. While we had many great adventures in that little watercraft, it was time for it to find a new home for obvious reasons (at least I think they're obvious-can't you see how loaded we are?)
Below is a depiction of what will be our new boat. While not the exact model, this is how it will generally appear. It will be a handsome 3 feet longer, 4 gigantic inches wider, and 2 towering inches deeper in the middle than our previous one. Those are impressive numbers as they equate to 600lbs. more load capacity-a real issue for us!
So, until April (the time for receiving the new watercraft), I just moisten pictures and maps with anticipation!

LOL - I feel better now about my odd (and so far successfully quashed) impulses to buy a Kayak every year when they go on sale... :)
Oh, and,Tag
- you're it. :)
our family camped on the banks of the Green River in Utah while on an 8-state road trip a few years back. Beautiful country.
As for your new boat, wow, that's amazing how a few inches can make the difference for hundreds of pounds in added cargo. Wow. Now you can take a flatscreen with you on your next adventure. :-)
