Most paddlers stop kayaking as the weather cools down, but I have been kayaking into November each year. The sun sits low in the sky as I paddle on the rivers going east in the morning. I go upstream then back down, keeping the outing to about an hour. In this year, the favorite launch spot at Pioneer Park will be closed because of the Red Bridge Fire. Perhaps I can continue on local lakes? I could haul my boat down to the water over the bank too, but I will have to decide if its worth it.
