[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Mar-26-06 AT 00:49AM (EST)[/font][p]Congrats on the kayak gurl. The best thing you could find are some friends to go with. My wife and I have a canoe and we go with a bunch of crazy yakers several times a year. My daughter and her husband are the speed freaks (I think you could ski behind them!lol)The rest of us are just floaters, but we all have a ball. Super Soakers (large water guns) and a bailing bucket are required in our group. ;)
In our area (Glasgow) the Green and Nolin rivers are really nice. You might give them a try. Or, you might try a site called kywilderness. They are a nice bunch of people, a.k.a tree huggers, from all over the state and are very helpful. I'm sure they could give you some tips and areas to try.
