I have been assigned by my professor to ask all of you in this group
where your favorite place in the world is to canoe, kayak, etc. Thanks
for your help!

The exact same question just popped up in a hang gliding group I read, are
you in the same class? In any event, my favorite place is Merchants
Millpond State Park, in North Carolina, USA.

Yes. We are in the same class. Please tell me about a great
experience you had floating in Merchants Millpond State Park. Thanks
again for your help!

Up in time to drive the van (and the boat inside) down to the boatramp by
about 7AM. It was sort of misty and it sprinkled off and on but in a kayak
with a sprayskirt and rain top I don't care a bit if it rains. There are
no other people (scared away by the weather, I guess) but the wildlife just
considers it a normal day, if a bit overcast and damp. It's spring so
critters are doing spring things, like protecting their nests and stuff
(you don't want to get too close to a goose nest). I spent the whole day
just paddling and floating around and watching stuff and didn't even notice
the passage of time.
