Sammamish River Slough

It was bound to happen.  I started paddling about a year ago and have gone this long without paddling in the rain.  That was a pretty good run considering I live in the Pacific NW.  I went out with our kayak club to paddle the Sammamish River Slough. 

Although it looked kind of ugly, the weather turned out to be rather mild. 

 

 

There was a little drizzle and the temp was in the low 50s.

 We were treated to some nice fall colors, lots of ducks, herons, beavers and one huge salmon that jumped completely out of the water about 3 feet in front of us.

 Stopped at Brackett’s Landing for a quick lunch before heading back.
