The 2010 paddling season started off with a great winter paddle up to Diablo Lake on Saturday, Jan. 22 followed by a Sunday paddle down the length of Gorge Lake. I paddled with the SSAK group, a fun group of skilled paddlers who do know how to enjoy camping out, probably the first paddle that I gained weight !! Saturday was absolutely beautiful, the Cascades where gleaming in the bright sunshine with a fresh covering of snow, and cold, clear mountain air with only the scent of pines, oh yeah ! Sunday's paddle on Gorge Lake was a more typical winter paddle, the winds where whistling down the length of the lake but still very enjoyable..
