I would be down for it, kayaking is a sport I sucked at many years ago, just like mountain biking...as soon as I learned not to paddle in a circle I gave up. At least I didn't get to the phase where I spend a ton of money and then drop it because not enough time or some other excuse like that...you know, like mountain biking!

Cool! Next week or so we can plan something. Monksville is easy paddling with minimal current. This is the rental place right on the water https://flatwaterpaddle.co/

So, let me see if I got this right...you toss a bunch of chemicals in that putrid mess and then go swim in it?

Next Saturday we're at 6 mile volunteering for NICA. Maybe if the wife feels like it we could do Sunday, or the week after. She wanted to try kayaking as our house is about 200 yards from Cupsaw lake, so it could be a strong maybe.

Thanks for the bag of rad stuff. Thanks everyone for comong out. Amd thanks @jklett for helping me fix my bike.

My massively powerful strength (not at all my weight or the fact that I didn't use long enough bolts) shredded the threaded, built in spacer of my chainring. Someday id like to go at least a few weeks without a mechanical.

Me too Tax... me too

Mostly salt. A little chlorine and baking powder.

Makes a nice cookie.

Awesome! Super relaxing place and they rent stand up paddle boards. Do I smell a oos@sea event???

If we flip over as much as we otb... someone is going to drown

That's right you do salt water. So is it more just filtering time?

Still need to balance pH and alkalinity. Shock occasionally and algecide. But much less and much easier. Diy about $1500 start up cost. Saves couple hundred in clorine tabs per year. Water feels good.

Had a cover failure so there is plenty of organic matter in there

One of my favorite interview questions before the internet was 'how many gallons do you think are in a cubic foot?' cause I had my pool drawn on the whiteboard and was calculating how long to fill it.

You'll be surprised!

That's where I have rented in the past with my son. Nice place. Is that where you put in with yours? I heard that the police will ticket anyone parked in the middle. Perimeter parking only.

I'll typically park on the other side of the reservoir where it's less crowded and just launch from there. You can paddle around the reservoir from the rental boat area launch all the way around to the other boat launch. Obviously if you are renting you have no choice but to park in that one area

Speaking of water activities, have any of you gone rafting on the delaware lately? In my limited research, I know of indian head and kittatinny for rentals, but what sections have you done before? Has anyone done the knights eddy to matamoras section? Plan is to take the fam over the summer. Not looking for category 10 rapids, just something to have a little fun with on their first time out. Next year, we'll be ready for this:

We used to do it regularly in the spring when the kids were younger. Even bought a raft as it was easier and could hold 6. Summers were usually a bit slow but with the rain we've had in the past few years summess may be okay. I can't remember that sections anymore. But all of the Delaware was good for kids. Bring a raft to tow. My kids liked being "exiled" for the raft from time to time.
