paddle fever

so we bought a new kayak last weekend at rei...and it is the coolest thing EVER! last weekend we took out maiden voyage on lake austin near where we live...it was fun, but too much motorboat traffic...lots of waves...too concerned about being run over by other boaters...still it was worth it...the other side of the lake from where we put in was a cool inlet with a waterfall...



today we went to town lake and put in at auditorium shores...not a bad place to put in, but i think the put in by austin high school will be a better place to launch from...we got to see where the bats live under the congress ave bridge...we found the inlet that leads to zilker park and barton creek...it was tons of fun...much better than lake austin...no motor boat traffic at all...
