Putting DWQ on the water

Last weekend, I made arrangements for about 20 folks from DWQ and their sig. others to meet outside of Jefferson NC and canoe and camp on the New River (NC). We had a great campground (Zaloo's Outpost) all to ourselves. Two daytrips in the canoes gave us a total of 16 miles on the river. I think folks (many of whom hadn't spent much time in canoes) had a good time. It was nice for me to arrive early Friday and camp through Monday morning without having to rush up for the weekend and then rush back home.

When I finally did get home, I decided to start into the process of insulating the attic of the garage to try to keep it a little cooler this summer. I finished 160 linear feet of the ceiling this week. I figure I'll do the same for the next 2 or 3 months and even the costs out a little.

Today I 'll spend preparing for teaching my first beginner kayak class this weekend. Chuck Hunley and I are co-teaching: beginning at Jordan tomorrow and then probably a LOW water day on the Cape Fear Sunday.
