I got a Saturday afternoon pass, so I loaded up the kayak and my gear and…well, took it all for a drive. :) I had grand intentions of actually paddling, but I ended up having fun just exploring my new part of the world from the comforts of four wheels.
The video above is a mostly unedited view of my travels from Moscow to Uniontown and Colton, WA, to the Wawawai-area down on the Snake River (to an area known as Lower Granite Lake), back up to almost Pullman, back down 194 to Lower Granite Dam itself, and then back through Pullman and on home.
Happy to be out exploring and looking for liquid water, I wasn’t expecting to pass through a very pronounced inversion layer. Twice. The Palouse (Moscow, Pullman, and surrounding areas) sits at just shy of 2600’ and was a balmy 46˚. The Snake is quite a bit lower at 800’, but as I dropped through the fog/cloud layer, the outside temperature plummeted to a wet and cutting 32˚—hence, the boat stayed dry today. Someone should tell the residents of Salt Lake City that they’re not the only ones with bad winter air problems.
Shot with a windshield-mounted GoPro shooting at 5-second intervals for about three hours. Music was “LordDa Mercy” by Daddy_Scrabble (via Vimeo’s Music Store).
