Recently the county opened up an off-limits reserve to those of us interested in kayaking, canoeing, or just hiking around an area that we haven't been able to as of the last decade or so. Michael and I decided to take advantage of our beautiful Sunday afternoon and trailered the kayaks to the opening spot. Four hours later we made it to Long Lake. Despite the beautiful weather, it was a little disheartening to have to get out of your kayak and literally drag it because the water was so low. That, and the unbelievable amounts of disgusting, smelly dead carp floating amongst the trashed lawn mowers on the side of the reserve river. How they got there, I have no idea, but this kayaking expedition is going to be way more successful when we take it to the Boundary Waters.
