Then about three miles up that canal to the take-out. Put the kayak back on the dolly and pulled it to work. Then reverse to get back home. It was really fun.
Shortly after I did that, Hurricane Katrina came along and caused the Army Corps of Engineers to construct pumping stations at the end of both canals basically blockading my route. And I don't have that same job either.
