Kayaks on the river, by swanksalot

It seems this is the week for kayaking articles!  On her new blog, Unpaved Paradise, my fellow citizen Alyssa Urish tells us why we should hit the river:

“Paddling the Chicago River is a magical adventure,” said Margaret Frisbie, executive director of Friends of the Chicago River. “Whether you are downtown where you can see our world-famous city skyline from the water, further north where the variety of wildlife is remarkable, or on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal where the limestone cuts from when the canal was dug more than 100 years are still visible, it is really a worthwhile experience.”

And over at the Trib, Christopher Borrelli recounts his aquatic dining adventure eating sushi and barbeque whilst afloat.  The article is accompanied by a list of kayak-friendly dining establishments.  The story is fun, but his advice is priceless: "Bring Handi Wipes."
