Paddled from the Portage Lake DNR launch up the Portage River, aka Portage Creek aka Hell Creek, in a totally inappropriate sea kayak. Had to portage a beaver dam but turned back at a property-owner's bridge upstream from Toma Rd rather than trespass on his yard. Highlights included skunk cabbage, dogwood and a water snake. This was the route from Lake Erie's Huron River watershed across #Michigan to Lake Michigan's Grand River watershed.

First kayak outing of the year. 5 miles of biking pulling the kayak and 6 miles on the water carrying the bike. Unsurprisingly, the bike trip there is mostly downhill, but the trip back is uphill. Pedalling that load uphill is hard work!

Lucked out when I pulled the kayak behind a tree (to get out of the wind) to select a new audiobook, then looked through the tree and saw a bald eagle. Just wow.

Lots of cute goslings and geese too.

Continued thread

Specifically:
1. Four-day kayaking camp together with two kids, one of them a beginner
2. Pick up my new midlife crisis bike, and ride it home for a couple hundred km
3. A two-weekend training for leading kayaking excursions, with ample practical elements

all this followed by a one-week #kayaking course in June :-)
