WASHINGTON COUNTY KAYAKING

I was checking my map and discovered I only had a few counties left to paddle so I loaded up the kayak and set off to conquer them. So far this year I've bagged Wahkiakum, Klickitat, Walla Walla, Franklin, Benton, Columbia, Okanogin, Douglas, Lincoln, Ferry and Stevens. Spokane and Pend Oreille are the last two counties left.

DESTIN

We've never visited the southern states so we reserved a resort room and headed south. I have a goal of kayaking in all 50 states so I packed the inflatable. We had a great time visiting and kayaking in 5 states. The sugar sand beaches of the Florida Panhandle are awesome. Kayaking with the alligators are also an experience. Sadly, I never saw one.

TEXAS

Ben moved to Georgetown Texas so we went to see him. We also visited San Antonio and Austin. There is soo much to do in Texas so I'm sure we'll return.
