Had a great week up in Pine. The weather was beautiful, hitting 80 degrees a couple of the days while it also hit 100 in the Valley. It is hard to imagine that the road to Blue Ridge Reservoir is still closed.
Blue Ridge is up on the Rim which is about 2,000 feet higher in elevation. The Winter snow pack is still evident up there. Our neighbors come up from Phoenix via I-17 to Camp Verde and then across SR 260 through Strawberry. Tom said that there was still snow at the intersection where you turn to come down through Strawberry and into Pine.
I had hoped to do more work on the kayak while up here but spent most of my time adding an access door to the space under the front decking. In the process we're replacing the wooden lattice with more durable plastic lattice made from recycled milk bottles. This will provide a place to store the kayak out of the weather.
Wednesday morning I did manage to install the drain plug on the kayak. This was another item available from Austin Canoe and Kayak. There was already a pad in the hull so that where to mount it was not an issue. Check out the website to see more.
