Backwater Kayaking

Through the reeds and cattails and past the complaining coots we took a narrow canal into the backwater area behind the Senator Wash dam, next to the Colorado River. We have discovered that mornings are best, the winds are calm and the day is just starting to heat up. As we made our way out of the canal and into the back lake flanked by steep desert cliffs, we scared up a single coyote watching our passage from on high. The cliffs and hills in this area have many good places for a mother coyote to hide a family but we found no young today.
