and the kayaking of 2012 begins


This post includes 5 of my first 6 kayaking trips of 2012.  First Mark and I went down the calm Little Spokane on June 21st.  Then the next week, June 27th, we moved onto the Upper Spokane with a group of long time friends and their kids.  Two days later, June 29th, Mark and I went down the Lower Spokane, just the two of us.  I was so concerned about being close enough to Mark that he could T-rescue me that I ran into him continually throughout the trip.   Lastly, on the 10th and 12th of July, I joined an advanced kayaking class, first on the Upper Spokane then the Lower.

So far I have not been able to find any pictures, but this was the day I earned my Combat Roll Badge!!


JULY 12, 2012: The Lower Spokane

We practiced ferrying across the river here between the bridge
abutments for at least 30 minutes. It was challenging,
thrilling and just as much a T-rescue exercise.
