Fun Friday: Peek-a-Boo, I See You!
Ever sense someone or something is watching you? That happened to me this past week while kayaking in a Missouri Conservation Area.

After I completed my kayak on Tuesday morning, I loaded up the kayak and headed to the nearby natural prairie for a quick hike around the upper meadow. Upon completing that, I began the drive back to my rural home. Since the kayak area was on the way, I made a short detour to drive […]

A Group of Woodies

Lucky Three’s
Today’s post is the story of “my lucky three’s”. On Wednesday, I make my first kayak outing in several months. Following the Midwest drought of a couple years back, we just haven’t had the rains we typically get, and the areas I kayak have not had sufficient water for kayaking, for some time. But the […]
