So the gate is normally the entrance to my hiking around the upper area of Bridgeport Dam. This used to be a road that would cross the lake, but it’s long been shut down. Well, when I went out there today, I realized my knee high rubber boots wouldn’t be enough to keep me dry. Not giving up, I drove the 15 minutes home and strapped a kayak to my roof and came back. It was well worth it.
The amount of rain we’ve had the past few days has made me consider building an ark. Once I realized that I only have a few 2×4’s in my garage, I packed a camera bag and set off to a local favorite place that I know gets wild during the rainy season, Ohiopyle State Park.
With the sun shining and the air warm, I loaded up my kayak with gear and set off to see what was hanging around. The bald eagles were soaring around along with some geese, ducks and other waterfowl.
