“Spend as much time as possible on mountains, in small boats, or otherwise out in the weather; if you never get wet, cold, exhausted or scared, you won’t properly appreciate being dry, warm, rested and safe.” ~ Peter Jay
"I’m an adventuring river rat at heart. Put me on a floating piece of driftwood and I’m happy." ~ Christina Glauner

Exploring Farm Island
I convinced John to go paddling yesterday. It was a beautiful day; temperature in the mid to upper 80s, light wind, and few clouds. We went into the interior of Farm Island. I also took along Indy, my new dog from the humane society. He is an australian shepard/blue heeler mix and is about 7 months old. He did alright on the water. As well as Scruffy did the first few times he went out. We ended up putting in about 4.9 miles.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjlOHLUmBXib86T8xZM1AMqRdkivsxrRin3rwLPl8JEUOv041xqThp8DUWyjYkXJXmcqZGpEJzTQGbPZCa_GY_Lk7KE9otTpYn_5z8QN4WSB3oVX4otOcrxArNWJjjAYxcJ6L2nH99dMYS/s400/IMG_5698.JPG)

The last picture is from Saturday, when I took Indy out for only about a mile near the American Legion cabin.
