Nessie and Clem
This site is about our travels with and without our tandem kayaks, Nessie (our original kayak) and Clem (our new kayak). We've been lucky to visit much of the US on our travels. We've taken either Nessie or Clem on several of our trips and have greatly enjoyed quiet water paddling in them. But sometimes they have to stay home--you can't get a 16 feet long kayak in the overhead bin on an airplane. Check out About Nessie and Clem for more information about our Kayaks.
What's here
I've posted short trip reports and photos of the highlights of our various trips. In some cases I've posted more extensive photo galleries to show you the beauty of these special places. Check out the Recent Photo Galleries and Older Photo Gallery for lots of photos of several of the beautiful places we've visited.
If you're interested in quiet water paddling, check the pages covering paddling. We seek out pretty and interesting paddles on lakes and quiet stretches of rivers. We don't do whitewater. Lakes on windy days are rough enough for us.
If you're interested in the wonderful National Parks in the US, check out the National Parks Pages Or just pick a page at random from the menus.

Favorite Paddles Merchant's Mill Pond and Bear Creek Lake
If we had to choose our favorite paddling spots in North Carolina, we'd pick Merchant's Mill Pond in Eastern North Carolina and Bear Creek Lake in Western North Carolina.
We've paddled Merchant's Millpond twice, in 2003 and in 2010. Merchant's Millpond is in Gates County and is pretty much in the middle of nowhere.
We haven't paddled Bear Creek Lake for quite awhile.
