My son, Caleb, and I just got home from running Chiques Creek in Lancaster County. We took our Imresboat (open cockpit kayak) and our Payson Pirogue. Caleb took the kayak and I was in the canoe. My passenger was our English Springer Spaniel. He walked in the shallow rapids and swam through deep spots. When he was tired he came to my canoe and I hoisted him in. We were able to do this even in deeper spots that were over his head. We put in at the covered bridge Bridge Valley road and took out at the Marrietta Pike bridge. It took us about 2.5 hrs. I got one hole to repair in my canoe. Great run and we will do it again some time. Look out for the low head dam and the ford.

AuthorI love being on the water in a boat that is quiet and non-polluting. On the water I relax and start to see my life and the world around me from a fresh perspective. I sense God's pleasure! Archives
