Just had to....

This weekend was the first really nice weather we've had in a while.  It got into the 50's and it felt so wonderful.  Having to deal with above normal snow fall and below normal temps this past winter had me wanting...um, NEEDING to do some paddling.  I was painting a few rooms in the house on Saturday but that left me free for Sunday.  I didn't have a lot of time and I also wanted to see what it was like entering black river from the Ironia road (I think that's what it is)...I got in with no problem and only made it for a very short while before there wasn't enough water for me to paddle.  I MAY have been able to fight my way through but the water was too cold for me to risk dumping so I tootled around for a bit and came back to the launch.  Essentially, I just paddled what they call, Lake Lillian.  It was a short trip but it felt so wonderful to get on the water again!
