Kayak in Site on Cedar River Flow

This is one of the beautiful kayak-in sites that the DEC is proposing to close to appease the environmental extermists who believe the public should have no access to public lands.

South Over Cedar River Flow

It was pretty bright and glarey on the lake. I had my sunglasses on, and even had enough sunscreen on, along with the cowboy hat, but not putting sunscreen on my legs, left with me with bad burns on the legs.

At one of the campsites. I really had to take a piss, because that's what drinking beer does to me, and it's pretty hard to do in a kayak, without hoping out.
