Mike Bitton recently spent a couple of days practicing his kayak mooves on Trillium Lake.
Over the weekend my family camped at Trillium Lake, which sits at the south end of Mt. Hood near Portland, Ore. I put my strip-built wooden kayak on the roof of the Jeep, then stopped by Next Adventure (Portland's Alternative Sporting Goods Store) to borrow a second kayak from Bryan Knudsen, co-owner of the shop. We got to the campsite, set up, and went straight to the lake.
My brother, David Bitton, and his wife, Tomie, are visiting from Colorado Springs. Dave was eager to get in the boats. We paddled around a bit, then I taught him how to climb back into the boat if you fall out in deep water. He got the hang of it real quick.
The next day, we shared the boats with members of my wife Jana's family. They all had a great time. By late afternoon, most of the family went back to camp, so Dave, Tomie and I hung out at the lake. Trillium Lake is so gorgeous, you should do a Google image search to see what I'm talking about. I'll definately be back!
