Keep moving through the landscape ahead of the monsters!

That one Halloween we had on the

Taylor Slough of the Everglades.

.

(tap or click pic to read)

The hungry ghost of a gator snaps at inquisitive paddlers.
Halloween on the Taylor Slough.

.

Grass paddling is a local Everglades specialty!

While free ranging is always possible, it’s usually best to save the energy by mostly sticking to (relatively) well established canoe and NPS airboat trails as much as possible. Poling, pushing, and paddling – it’s all good on the slough. This Halloween trip followed down the Taylor Slough and then the Craighead Pond Canoe Trail, eventually exiting at the Nine Mile Pond Canoe Trail. The upper part of Taylor Slough is a beautiful area, paddling amongst Cypress trees with mixed vegetation. Then the further south we went, the more open and prairie-like the landscape became. We kept moving across this wide open watery landscape until again being corralled into channels by coastal mangroves.

Then we ran out of daylight and it got real dark ..

Bleached bones in the dark waters of the Everglades.

The legend of Kaya Kay Skellitonova

and the Great White Alligator.

.

(tap or click pic to read)

“The Great White Alligator”
ART of Halloween kayaking – a Darkness in the Everglades!

.

Kaya Kay Skellitonova was a pioneer Everglades gator hunter of old. She was the best at bringing in the big ones, right from her kayak! As the story goes, she once spotted a “Great White Alligator” that thrashed her boat and nearly capsized her. As the seasons went on, she grew more and more determined to seek out and hunt down this great beast! Eventually she was completely consumed by her quest and was never heard from again.

So the legend was born and her last words were said to be:

“Thus, I give up my euro blade paddle!”

Tasty & Quick Cooking for backcountry kayak campers!

It sets the tone for your well being!

You won’t believe how good food tastes when you’re out camping. After a day or two of paddling and exploring, your taste buds will reset & you’ll notice subtle flavors and more textures that often get drowned out in much of today’s commercially made meals! You won’t even miss the extra salts and sugars that you might be used (or addicted) to .. this is your body telling you

“thank you for satisfying my genuine hunger with wholesome food!”

ICF K2 Sprint Kayak

It was really tough to find somebody willing and also able to paddle this kind of boat in South Florida. Eventually I decided to do a quick solo test paddle on the intracoastal waterway and Whiskey Creek in Dania Beach using a 50lb counterweight in the front cockpit to simulate a second paddler. This kinda worked OK, but I still couldn’t get the entire waterline submerged.

So I decided to call up my paddling partner Kaya Kay Skellitonova

and she met up with me to finish my test paddle!

The Daily Dose – That one Halloween on the Taylor Slough.

Poling, pushing, paddling is all good

as long as you keep moving through the

landscape ahead of the monsters!

.

The hungry ghost of the gator snaps at paddlers, is it lunch time yet?
Halloween on the Taylor Slough.

.

Paddling down the Taylor Slough and on the Craighead Pond Canoe Trail, exiting at the Nine Mile Pond Canoe Trail inside Everglades National Park. The upper part of Taylor Slough is a beautiful area, paddling among Cypress trees and mixed vegetation. The further south we go, the more open and prairie-like the landscape becomes. Grass paddling is one local Everglades specialty, and usually entails taking advantage of any existing airboat or other trails. Free ranging is possible, but it’s best to save the energy on longer trips such as this one by mostly sticking with the well established NPS airboat trail.

After we paddled off into the sunset, it got dark, real dark!

The Daily Dose – A Darkness in the Everglades!

The dark legend of Kaya Kay Skellitonova

and the Great White Alligator.

.

“The Great White Alligator”
ART of Halloween kayaking – a Darkness in the Everglades!

.

Kaya Kay Skellitonova was a pioneer Everglades gator hunter of old. She was the best at bringing in the big ones, right from her kayak! As the story goes, she once spotted a “Great White Alligator” that thrashed her boat and nearly capsized her. As the seasons went on, she grew more and more determined to seek out and hunt down this great beast! Eventually she was completely consumed by her quest and was never heard from again.

So the legend was born and her last words were said to be:

“Thus, I give up my euro paddle!”
