Eric and Teresa Visit – Snowshoeing in RMNP – Photos!

Apryle — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 17:51:37 +0000

Eric and Teresa visited us this weekend and we went up into the national park. Visability was poor. Had about 1-4 inches of fresh snow and snow was falling as we hiked. Eric and Teresa borrowed snowshoes and Phil and I were on skis. We went up to Mario Gully and skied down.

Mini back-country skiing conditions report for Mario Gully in Rocky Mountain National Park: Skier’s left of the gully is usually great. Not today. It was a hard, icey crust with pockets of soft, pillowy snow that was obviously blown in. The gully proper was better, but has big holes and was a little chunky as it’s been heavily snowshoed.

Kayak Oklahoma Blog Sunset

Thomas — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:08:00 +0000

It looks like the Kayak Oklahoma Blog may be soon coming to an end. The folks at Blogger.com have decided to end support for authors who own their own domain. Although it is kind of a bummer that they are dropping this service right at the start of Spring kayaking season, I hope it will open up more time for paddling.

Still, OklahomaRoadTrips.com will continue. Dianne and I are still eagerly paddling all of the local waterways that we can manage, so you can expect to find float trip reports and kayaking photography on this site...just not on this page.

This Summer we are heading south to visit a cabin on Caddo Lake in Texas. We are also planning a trip on the Caddo River and the Ouachita River in Arkansas. As usual we will hit our two favorite Oklahoma rivers: The Lower Mountain Fork River in Broken Bow, Oklahoma and the Illinois River in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Also, keep an eye on our site to get the details of Dianne's kayak fishing exploits as she goes after Gar, one of Oklahoma's largest and oldest fish species.

For late breaking news on Oklahoma kayaking issues, look me up on Twitter (username: FreeWine) and if you want to contact me you can always email me or hit me up on Flickr or Facebook. Until then, I hope to see you on the water!

Happy Paddling!
