Valerie recently purchased a beat-up old Disco 169 to use for family paddling. I wasn't necessarily supportive since southern Utah isn't really the place for a canoe. I mean, where are you going to use it? Well, Yankee Meadows, for one. Yesterday we went up to the reservoir and had a canoe-in picnic. If you like to bait fish from the back of your pick-up truck, this is the place for you. As a result, it wasn't, um, the most quiet and pristine canoeing experience, but it was a beautiful evening and the girls enjoyed the time outdoors. Since we can be loaded, up the mountain, and on the lake in thirty to sixty minutes, I suspect that we will see a lot more of Yankee in the weeks to come.

Ellen looks like a natural with that paddle. Won't be long before she'll be telling you to get down as she guides you through Triplet Falls and Hells Half Mile.
