A must have for any long distance trip. A solar panel and a 26000 mAh battery. I can charge my phone 4-5 times off the battery and recharge the battery from the sun. It works great.

24. kesäkuuta 2017, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Yes that really is a goat... In fact there are several. Does anyone know when goat season opens? Naw... I'd have to tow him all the way to camp. And besides, how would I "bag" him? Probably have toLue lisää

Camp day 4
24. kesäkuuta 2017, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
So I've finally made it to camp. I'm exhausted! The first 7 miles this morning were pleasant, but around 12 someone turned on the wind. It wouldn't have been so bad on the river, but these longLue lisää

Deer burger and Idaho potatoes.
Logs
25. kesäkuuta 2017, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
I can't believe how many logs are floating. These power boats must keep several spare props handy. They race up and down the lake like it's nothing. I've hit several submerged logs that I couldn't seeLue lisää

About 20 til 10 the wind kicked up again. Boy am I glad I started early this morning.. I'm going straight across this. The waves are being pushed up about 1.5 feet towards the middle.
A very welcome sight
25. kesäkuuta 2017, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
I'm very glad to see this. It means the end of these long stretches of open water for a few days. I need the break. This wind is a killer.
No cover
25. kesäkuuta 2017, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Going without a cover tonight. Not supposed to be any rain so I'll go without my tarp. I'll have it ready in case I need it though. Just me and the stars tonight
So... What's for lunch?
25. kesäkuuta 2017, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Chicken fried rice from Peking buffet and a&w root beer. Sounds delicious if you ask me. Especially seeing as it's the first I've eaten today. I skipped breakfast to get on the water earlier andLue lisää
Boy could I make some knives from that

The lockmaster said I was his first kayak to ever lock through. It's 400 get long and drops you 60 feet in 12 minutes. It was really cool. On to old hickory....
