With the massive amount of rain that came down, a mini lake formed in Barbre park. Where there is water, I’m there to paddle. So I went out and met Danelle and Corvin to paddle for a bit. Hogan Haake

March Sunset Race – 4/13/2017
The March Sunset race had some first time participants. Allan and Molly, friends of Danelle from school, came out to paddle. I brought a canoe and all of the other paddling equipment for them. Unfortunately for me, they were about 30 minutes late. So I stayed behind for the start of the race until they … Continue reading “March Sunset Race – 4/13/2017”

This is probably the last warm Sunset race of the year. As a special treat, Andy brought out his new Minnesota 2. He had T paddling with him who had not been in a canoe before. I videoed in case they flipped, but they made it look easy… Hogan Haake

George Winter With Sonora – 10/3/2016
I decided to go out after work with Sonora and have a daddy daughter day. I thought we would go paddling and catch dinner at Meramec Marina. I knew that Sonora wouldn’t paddle hard, so it was important to start very near the marina. I understand its expensive to operate a park, but I was … Continue reading “George Winter With Sonora – 10/3/2016”
Alpine Shop – 9/18/2016

Paddling With Kids – 8/26/2016
I do lots of paddling, but I don’t often include my family. In fact, I think this might be the only time this year I’ve taken the kids out in the boats.
