Mayfield Lake

Sep 24, 2011

My first paddle with the cool kids!  We headed to Mayfield lake and paddled to the Cowlitz river.  First time experiencing eddys.  Didn't know if I liked them not.  Let's say I liked them after I was through them.  It was about a 14 mile paddle I think - maybe it just felt like it. 

                                                        Here's some of the crew launching

Nice little layer of fog hovering over the water

Like a rain forest

Another bridge to go under.  Nice calm waters here.  I wasn't able to unwrap my white knuckles from my paddle to take pics of the eddies or the fast moving currents from the river.

Found a grassy spot for lunch.  First time I got out of my kayak in front of the group and guess who fell into the water?  Yup.

 

 

All in all, it was a pretty terrific first time paddling as a group.  Great paddle, great company.  Can't wait for next time!
