My Kayak Surrounded-Another day and more birds... LOL

So Sunday I went up to Black Hill
Beautiful day and very crowded...

Many birds of a feather and people

They must have thought I had the right fishing hole

Tuesday I went up to Cunningham Falls.... and it was lovely with many fisherman and a few cabin dwellers there....

I will probably go back there... maybe on Friday

Beautiful kayaking weather....

Sunday, Tuesday Friday.... Beautiful Kayaking

Black Hill Regional Clarksburg-Boyds-Germantown Whatever you call it = GREAT!

I use the hard boat launch here and just stay out of the way of big boats.

Tridelphia off of Georgia Ave... Love this area, Great Dock for fishing, playground for kids and
if you are over 64... you just get your seasonal pass and it is free......  all others 70.00 for the season
or you stop by the office for your daily permit... I find all these places are better if you just get the
seasonal permits and you can away you goooo

Put my sail up and caught some wind

WSSC gives us this big body of water to play on

And today was beautiful at Clopper Lake at Seneca Creek State Park off Clopper Road near the
MVA...   I love the easy boat launch here...and the Robins were singing their hearts out...

Beautiful out

Birds were feeling it....

Robins were singing away

Robins were everywhere and the singing was fabulous

Kayaking on 4-12-2015 Clopper-Seneca State Park next week Tridelphia Lake WSSC

Well, I had a wonderful and I mean truly wonderful day of kayaking on Sunday, April 12, 2015
It was beautiful....

I set out for Black Hill Regional but it had been rented out for a festival.  I am off on Sundays but I try not to go anywhere that may be crowded.  Black Hill is so big 500+ acre lake, I know there will be plenty of solitude somewhere on the lake.  My fun is solitude in kayaking.

So, I turned around after a chat with the policeman sitting by the entry and he said I could go in and go kayaking, but again, I like solitude and I really am not into audiences when I set up.

So much for that.... I went to Clopper.... Seneca Creek State Park   Seneca Creek State Park accross from MVA off Clopper Road...

Right next to the Boat House 

State Park Pass and Regional Pass are the two mandatory things for my fun summers.  Then I have no other fees to travel around the lakes.  WSSC reservoirs and that requires a WSSC pass unless over 64.  I did not get that this year yet...oops just read the WSSC website... so if you are a senior citizen you don't need the pass, just evidence of age... There is free access for handicapped and under 16 and over 64 years of age.
Boat Launch Tridelphia Lake 70. seasonal pass at office
Triadelphia (Brighton Dam) and Rocky Gorge (T. Howard Duckett Dam) Reservoirs are surrounded by 5,600 acres of wooded property that comprises the WSSC portion of the Patuxent watershed. Both properties store a combined surface area of 1,600 acres of raw water which is used to supply customers in Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties.
WSSC vistors pay a fee for fishing from portions of the shorelines of reservoirs; fishing and recreation boating on large areas of the reservoirs; mooring of personal boats (80.00 seasonal mooring fee); horseback riding on designated bridle trails; and hunting in specific areas No swimming, but kayaking and fishing, boating is allowed.

Golden Age Pass (62+) 10. lifetime for State Parks MD gets you a cabin for halfprice in State Parks Sunday thu Thurs  DNR has internet map of boat launches for kayaks in MD.....  lots of fun.

 I am focusing on fun and saving for my vacations this year in Berlin near OC.

Do you know what this bird is? 4-19-2015 spotted at Black Hill Regional

So I went to the Lake on Sunday: 4-19-2015

Beautiful Colors 

He was playing peekaboo with me

 

 

I was quite close to him for a while

He sort of reflected the light and was more peacock looking in color than this looks

The full kayaking year is in bloom....

I went kayaking last Sunday and on Friday, it said it was going to rain, but I went anyway and it didn't rain!!! unbelievable. This is at Black Hill Regional - I love this lake for just kayaking or fishing.    Black Hill Regional Park is the BEST!

SO, my new kayak is broken in....  I went out and did not want to come back in.

My Sea Eagle 380x

Lots of room form all my gear.  I didn't have too much with me, but next time ..YEH

Beautiful Skies
