This is my biggest passion lately. Kayaking and fishing. This was up in the Adirondacks last spring

That looks awesome...My third son bought two kayaks last summer and he goes out with his little sister all the time.
I can use them any time I want...I was just way to busy this last year...I do miss having a lake in my back yard...My eldest son has lake rights..He has to walk across the street to a private access..That is where the kayaks are kept..Taking up space in his garage and NOT MINE...lol

we just scheduled another week up there in June. last year it was cold and wet. in the 30's at night in june. hoping this years sees some better weather

yes. it was unseasonably cold. I didn't bring any cold weather gear. I was fucking freezing. the only time I was warm was in my bag at night. that picture was taken the third day we were there. it finally warmed up to the low 50's during the day and the sun came out a little. that was the warmest shirt I had. the only coat I had was the rain coat. I had a pull over fleece but that was soaked

That is one thing I hate about camping is being wet...Waking up and walking out of the tent and the dew just makes you feel clammy..The only time I enjoyed camping is when I had my motorhome..Nothing is better than having your own shower and toilet...lol..

it seems you are always damp. even when it doesn't rain. when I get in the woods though I just get into this zone. I become totally immersed in it and a lot of things that would normally bother me I overlook. I used to do a lot of fairly minimalistic camping. now, this older body at least needs and mat to sleep on. I used to do more backpacking camping. now I like to kayak into a place so I can bring a little more gear.

My bones need camping that involves a hotel...lol
The last time I went camping was Labor day weekend 2007...We found a real nice campground right on Green Bay.
The lady friend I was with said she LOVED camping..In the middle of the night we ended up in the back of my Suburban...The next night we were in a hotel...lol..My body is way to beat up to be walking on trails..One little twist and these old knees will be feeling it for weeks..The dampness just cuts right through me now...

Yes, you do work that is very rough on the body. I spilt my kneecap in half a few years ago. as a result I tend not to lift properly and it has given me some muscular, not structural back issues. that's one of the reasons I need to sleep on a mat. but I have to say I seem to sleep really good while camping. something about that cool fresh air and the sounds.

Fresh air does make you sleep well...OUCH...How did you split your knee cap?...That sound so painful..
I could not even imagine how much that must have hurt..My left knee has been messing with me for 4-5 years now...4 years ago they went in and pulled some small "debris" out of there..Even after that it would swell up..It would last a few days then I would be good..I can be totally fine..If I twist the wrong way suddenly or if I lean out to far while on my knee boards I will get a shooting pain..Then it takes a couple days for it to settle down and get back to normal..

I don't even have a good story. bottom line, I got off the bus coming home from work, caught my foot on a piece of wire frozen in the ground and fell off a small embankment onto my knee on the road. i'm doing good with it. I can kneel anymore. but other that that I can do pretty much everything. I have trouble standing still for long periods. I can walk long distance ok though. I get some swelling with a lot of use
