I know when I get back to my car and take my pulse, often I'm 130-140 beats per min. I crank the AC and cool down on the way home. Got to drink water too. Unfortunately you have to wear waders because that bankside vegetataion is rough with waist high poison ivy, stinging nettle not to mention all sorts of biting bugs.

Yeah, I definitely choose the waders over the ticks and poison ivy. I brought a few bottles of water but it wasn't enough. Going to make an effort to use the kayak more often...can probably get away with shorts as long as the launch is clear.
