We met with Bruce and Ronda from the Baja trip in Valley Verde Thousand Trails park on Thurs. They have their Airstream back from repairs required after the trip, and we admired it's shiney new appearance. Then we took the short drive to Montezuma's Castle and Montezuma's Well. The cliff dwellings were impressive. Bruce and Ronda have been fulling timing just about a year now. We hope to meet up later this summer, perhaps at the La Conner TT park in WA. Today Roger and I went to Mesa and rented small kayaks, in our efforts to learn the specifics of this activity. We knew we wanted 'sit on top" Kayaks, rather than 'sit in" type. These boats (in photos) were about 9'2". I think the next time we go, we will try a slightly longer boat, maybe up to 12' just to experience the difference. We've already learned that there is a big difference in the seats, in the paddles, etc. The owner of the place we rented was very helpful today. After 2 hours on this little lake, I was bushed. My arms were ready to fall off, and we called it a day. Also, it was a direct-sun 86 deg, so thank goodness for sun block! We managed to stay on top of the water, not in it, so we call it all good!
Happy trails.....
