“We hiked our Funs into the woods the night before, and hid them, knowing that we wouldn’t be able to successfully walk around in public during the day with the kayaks and not get noticed.* Not to mention that the border guards were literally 50 yards away and in full site of our drop off [...]
Sorry, my asci description somehow got deleted last time, so here it is again. Just as a quick note: look out for the rafts and duckies. I was smashed sideways between a raft and a rock, causing a blade of my paddle to snap in half. Keep some distance from the rafst, and don’t be [...]
