I met a guy out in Harper's ferry last weekend. He lived on his mother's farm on the river. Used to whitewater kayak professionally. And had like 30 kayaks, 3 sailboats, and a ton of other toys.
But also had his own mountain biking course he'd set up on some of the land, that he described as like schaefer but bigger hills.
I suggest one of us befriend him, 'cause that could be fun. I'd befriend him, but he talks too much and makes my head hurt. In like 1 hour, he pulled out 15 white water kayaks and basically gave me the evolution of the whitewater kayak over the last 20 years.
I really haven't gotten much into whitewater kayaking- I like rafting. I just think that I'd be deficient in really learning to read a river myself and could kill myself if I had to rely on my ability to do that.
But then - I probably take my sea kayak out in bigger waves through rock gardens than I should.
7/MDHS - if Tom's coming, it's not a biggie, I have 4 spare boats (long long story) (3 if the bf wants to come) (2 if I ever bring one over to my brother like I'm supposed to)... I might need someone else with a car rack to place a boat on that lives near silver spring.
Of course, it does plan on when we're planning to do this...
