LVMTV:: Midwest Update




A couple of weeks back Drew Duval, Toby McDermott, Joe Barkley, and Will Lyons headed up to the Lake Superior region of the Midwest to try and catch another quick dose of winter.  Powered by vegetable oil and good old fashioned redneck determination, they found the cold weather and high water they were looking for.  Stay tuned to LVM for full coverage, but until then...

Huddled around Joe's gypsy wagon.  Joe drove the whole way to and from Minnesota on vegetable oil.  Will and Drew spent nearly $300 on gas a piece while Toby and Joe managed to keep their gas bill under $100. Veggie oil is looking like a good option for kayak trips. 

A nice 30'er into Lake Superior, 1st descent by Drew Duval.



The trip was not without carnage.  Will getting humbled on the Baptism.



Toby boofin' the East Beaver. 

Joe's 5 stitches.  The tally for the trip was: 1 broken kayak, 4.5 broken paddles, 5 stitches, and countless knuckle flappers.
