Hazard on Lee Creek

Post by DMG » Sat May 09, 2009 11:02 pm

There is a deceptive hazard on Lee Creek that has gotten me into trouble twice now in exactly the same way. My plan seemed sound: In by noon, out by two, home by 3:30 to babysit so the wife can grab a nap before work. "I'll be home by 4:00 at the absolute latest," were my words. Then I would spend all day Sunday--Mother's Day--with happy, well-rested wife. :D

I got home at 7:45. It's not the first time. :(

Folks, it is absolutely NOT POSSIBLE to spend less than four hours on Lee Creek because it is TOO MUCH FUN!!! :beer: Long-time Lee Creek veterans already know about the "It's only a mile-and-a-half" trap but relative newbies like myself, particularly those with spouses who work nights, may not have figured it out yet. Hopefully this post will spare someone else some agony. :poke:

I can see both sides of this hazard... as a woman and as a kayaker. Thing to do is always try to keep balance... (Easier said than done, but it is the pursuit of balance that is important.)

Glad you had fun on Lee Creek. I went a little over a month ago and loved every second of it too!
