Good is a hard thing to define for everyone. We're not looking for crazy rapids, or miles and miles of shoreline, or what we see in most of the kayak and canoeing magazines. We are looking for a place that is close by, a place that is easy to get to, a place someone told us about, a place with great scenery, a place with something else to do, a place.... well.. I think you get the idea now.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger12125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13803875.post-64401797969936842912007-04-19T01:10:00.000-04:002007-04-19T01:12:07.251-04:00
