Creve Coeur Lake, St. Louis County, Missouri March 6th 2011: Much cooler day- makes you appreciate the spray skirt!
This was an interesting day due to the fact that Creve Coeur Lake was not my first choice. I had originally decided to go out to Coffeen Lake in Illinois. After crossing the river, I noticed just about every creek and river were out of their banks, and once I arrived at the lake, it was really high. Also, due to the fact that a power plant is attached to this lake (Coffeen), there was a ton of boat traffic, high water conditions, and it really got very windy and cold. So I decided not to go in....something did not feel right and safe with the lake.
On my way back home, I was wondering if I had made a right decision. Will this cause me to buy a mini van? possibly start drinking prune juice? Will I start taking Lipitor now? I was really getting down on myself for not jumping in. Had I turned into a paddy boy? Then, as if by divine providence, the sun came out as I crossed the Mississippi River. "Hey, how about Creve Coeur Lake?" a voice in my head bellowed to me.....and I answered "Why Not?". The rest of the story is in the film.....enjoy!

Table Rock Lake, Old Hwy 86 Use Area, Stone County, MO: Incredibly peaceful paddle, great to get out on the lake!
I do not know if this video does the incredible beauty of Table Rock Lake justice....but we gave it our best effort to get some of it on film. Always remember, Life is good....and Life is better on a kayak!

This was a nice late afternoon paddle. Table Rock Lake, Missouri can get to feeling like paddling on the sound side of the Outer Banks, NC when the wind starts to wip up. No white caps in the main channel, but lake started to swell a bit. Got a little weird when I got past the point into the main lake- really started to feel the effects of the wind. This lake can get real rough in March....I have seen it get to looking like the Atlantic Ocean on days past. Not quite at that level on this one, fortunately

Bull Shoals Lake, Beaver Creek Public Use Area, Taney County, Missouri, March 1st, 2011
The Missouri Ozarks are incredibly beautiful in early March! This was an incredible day to get out and paddle. I am so glad for it! Did about 6.8 miles and really enjoyed my time out in the ozarks! I will come back next time with a light spinning rod outfit and do a little fishing as well! Looks like this part of the lake has nice walleye and white bass numbers
Paddle ON!
