back in my youth, i used to backpack.
but in my later years i find that the deterioration of my knees and feet plus the general discomfort of the camping experience puts it out of my reach.
but then as a result of the
venture vermont challenge last year, the idea of kayak camping came to my notice. and yeah, i know they list it as "canoe camping", but for the purposes of reching your campsite by paddlecraft, i think a kayak will do just fine.
besides, transporting your camping gear by kayak represents some challenges that loading your gear into a canoe does not. think about the enclosed hull of a kayak and then think about piling your camping gear in there.
'nuff sed?
anyway, barb and i went from the blush hill boat access to a remote site on waterbury reservoir.
it was about nineteen different kinds of awesome and i want to go again soon.
