When it comes to finding a place to stay during your travels, you have a few choices. Your car is one of them, but that can lead to back aches and parking tickets. You can check into a seedy motel, but you’ll probably be privy to things you never wanted to know. A pricey hotel might be nice, but it’s [...]

When it comes to kayaking, my experience level resides somewhere between “I know how to hold the paddle,” and “Don’t let me drown, ok?” It’s people like me who need classes like the ones offered by Lincoln Canoe and Kayak’s Outdoor School.
