I thought my paddling friends would enjoy this view of an awesume coastline.














I plan to take 6 people here in 2012.
Let me know if you would like to go.

Summertime

Summer is here with a vengance. 98 + today with a 10 degree reduction promised for the weekend.
I feel for anyone who has to work outdoors in this heat.
Don't leave any living thing in a car, please !
Children and animals are dying everyday somewhere due to this.

Going down to Swansboro for the weekend. Leaving out Friday am. coming back after paddling on Sunday.
Will be staying at the Cedar Point Campground in Croatan Nat'l Forest.
I hope Mrs. Tootle in New Bern at the Nat'l Park Office, comes through with the senior passes for Dave and I.
$10.00 for a lifetime of free entry and camping in Nat'l Forests anywhere in the USA.
We plan to paddle out of the White Oak River , go under Hiway 24 and across the Inland Waterway and explore the islands and sand of several islands.

Made some inquiries as to a choice of cold wines for the summer and Reisling and Rose have gotten high reccomendations. Any suggestions from you ?

I'll see what Harris Teeter has to offer. Lowes had some great selections last night.

Got out the old Coleman electric cooled cooler , plugged it in and it works.
Plan to fill it with frozen water bottles to help maintain a cool inside temperature.

Hosting at the Burlington Artist League at Holly Hill Mall at the moment.
It is hot in the Mall.
4-8:00 PM today.

Everyone stay cool.
