Not Renting Any More

I am not going to be renting the kayaks anymore now that I have a real job. I will still keep up this blog from time to time to talk about kayaking things. Hopefully someday someone will find it and decide to check out "that big lake to the west of us" as a friend of mine once called Utah Lake.

So, I have been out on the lake since the last post, but I think only once. The main problem is that the East Bay entrance is blocked by construction. Also I found out this weekend that that area is maybe better known as "the Knolls," according to my brother-in-law. I have been dying to go out there because my brother just got back from Lake Titicaca in Peru where they live on man made islands just like I want to make here. Here are some links to some pictures of the islands.

On another note, my brother went out this past weekend and said Utah Lake State park is flooded over the parking lot. I dont know if that is normal, but I definitely have never seen the water that high.

Oh, and did I mention we took the kayaks to Lake Powell?? Loved it. I just wish we had motors so we could get to some of the back areas of the lake.

Back on the Lake!

My wife and I went out on the lake last night for the first time this year! It was such nice weather and we were there well after sunset. We were going to go to the East Bay area, but the road was closed because of construction on the freeway, so we went to the Palmyra launch where I used to go for lunch when I worked in Spanish Fork. It was a great place to launch from. I had forgotten how nice it was. It had the reeds and the birds that the marshes have, but it is a lot more accessible. I'm worried that there will be too many boats there in the summer though because there was a water ski club dock just off of the landing. Either way, it was beautiful. I'll get some pictures up here when I get a chance.

Oh, I need to give credit to my brother and nephew for getting the kayaks back in shape for the year. They had been sitting out for a while, but now they look great again! Thanks guys.
