Times Spent Outdoors: Priceless!
Paddles Ply The Waters
Whether in a canoe or kayak or on a stand-up paddleboard, all offer a calm, serene way to enjoy boating - unless of course there are many power craft sharing the lake or a sudden storm makes an appearance. Then, the best advice is to hug the shoreline and quieter waters, or if in real danger, the obvious choice is to get out of the threatening weather. (Experts will always advise that you "know before you go"; in other words, check the weather reports before putting in.)
September in Arizona is a crosswalk month as outdoor folks move from the warm-weather activities while also anticipating fall doings such as dove hunting; at press time, the season is now open. Both are easy to enjoy here in the Southwest as the temperatures have begun to be reasonable and the venues are plentiful.
So, the outdoors calls us again - to enjoy land or water with either a paddle or a shotgun in hand.
