Wow this is amazing! Really great pictures and a nice hobby! I only went once kayaking. It was years ago in the Halong Bay in Vietnam. It was such a great experience!
But somewhere near Sacramento it seems to be cool too - hope you enjoied your trip :-)
I am going on a great adventure by the way - if you are interested in travelling you gonna love it :-) Check it out on my profile!
Best wishes and keep on your travels,
