Have you ever considered strapping a tank to your back and checking out what the surface of the water looks like from the other side? You might be amazed. I've got limited kayaking experience, but I'd much rather swim with the fishes. Never had the pleasure, largely because I don't get the chance. Closest I got was snorkling in Key West. The rivers where I live are very low volume, as in knee deep at best during the summer. Canoe and kayak are best suited for the local aquatic niche. Scuba classes are held in some of the local abandoned rock quarries, all on private land. Much of the river banks snuggle up to National Forest, open to public use and camping. So, I take advantage of what's in my backyard. I can be on either the North or South Fork of the Shenandoah River within 10 minutes from my home. -- "This president has destroyed the country, the economy, the relationship with the rest of the world. He's a monster in the White House. He should resign." - Hunter S. Thompson, speaking to an antiwar audience in 2003. |

I lived within 15 minutes of the headwaters of the Nantahala in NC. I enjoyed my limited kayaking, but I'd still rather travel farther to watch the fish in their natural habitat. :-) |
