As soon as the paddle hits the water, this immediate sense of calm and serenity invades you. It's amazing. "He leads me beside the still waters...He restores my soul."
I bought a kayak to celebrate sending in my manuscript for my book (Craigslist, used...), and am planning on some hot summer days on Sparks and Hosmer, once the Cascade Lakes Byway opens. Little did I know that at 6,300 feet that Paulina Lake would have snow on the shore. It did, but it was so cool. And relaxing. And serene. Just what I needed as I ran my sermon through my mind. And then ran it out of my mind. And just relaxed and enjoyed the quiet peacefulness.
It's so awesome.
It you look closely you'll see how amazingly clear the water is.
Almost makes you want to get out and swim.
Well, almost...
I never go out without my Crystal Lite in my Mongo Gatorade jar....
And what great, cold, wet legs!
Yes, the 14 foot kayak is longer than my car.
And I was going to go to Paulina Falls, but the snow got in the way.
Yes, the Stop sign on the right side was correct...
Very sleek,cool kayak. yes you said it, when you glide out in your kayak there is a serenity that you feel. Try south twin. No snow there.
ReplyDeleteYes, South Twin in a must, though I didn't know about it until church this morning! It's also at 4,300 feet, rather than 6,200 like Paulina. It's on my summer list as are the other lakes on the Casecade Lakes Byway. I hope to hit as many as I can by Thanksgiving!
