Kayaking the Lehigh |
|
I have been getting into kayaking more and more, But never really wanted to go out and try it until I was taught how not to die. I finally got my chance to attend a class in Aug 2002. Here are the pictures from that weekend.

Scenery
Day One: the reservoir
 |
A nice shot across the reservoir |
 |
The water looks rather low, but this is about 50' higher then normal. |
 |
Just a cool looking dead tree. |
Day Two: the Lehigh river
 |
A nice shot of the river. It's also a good shot of a jerky kid walking to shore :) |
 |
Down the river and through the rocks, just hoping that we don't fall. |
 |
This is a small creek coming into the river. We were told in the spring that this is too tough to run. |
People

A very cool picture looking across the reservoir |

My turn to surf |

This doesn't look good |
 |
Oh shit |

If you were wondering if I flipped, well take a look at this and you'll prolly have your answer :-P |

This time I was actually up for a few seconds and don't eat it |
