The Transition from Winter to Spring

  This past week's weather has been absolutely gorgeous. It has been sunny and in the sixties almost every day. I think we all have a taste of spring fever now. Thanks, Mother Nature! The boys all got a chance to get out on the river in their kayaks yesterday. The water has been a little bit above 12 feet, which makes for a pretty good trip.

  We are beginning to get all of our new merchandise for next summer in, which makes us girls in the office very excited for things to start picking up. Yesterday we checked in our new bathing suits, swim trunks, t-shirts, cowgirl hats, and aqua socks. 

  Today we have been working on cleaning the shop so we can work on new displays for our products. Hopefully by Monday we will have the Kayak Shack ready for spring…even if we really haven’t made it through the winter yet.

  We look forward to seeing you this spring!

Welcome, 2006!

  We've made it safe and sane through the holidays, although, some still might be recovering from New Years Eve. It's a bit dreary outside today, but it is not as cold as it could be, which we are thankful for. 

  Things are pretty quiet in this area in January, but if anyone is interested, we've heard that Harpers Ferry National Park is offering ranger guided tours January through February at 2pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Get outside and enjoy the beautiful winter West Virginia offers! 
  If anyone is interested there is more information on the Harpers Ferry National Park website. http://www.nps.gov/hafe/home.htm
