Gaston County turning out to be location for kayak small business

It took me virtually 25 yrs to recognize and appreciate the normal natural beauty of Gaston County as noticed from its rivers.  

When I was rising up in Spencer Mountain, the South Fork River, which starts in Catawba County at the confluence of the Jacob Fork and the Henry rivers, and runs into Lake Wylie, was a regular weekend getaway.

When I was a young kid, my father would consider my older brother and I fishing alongside the riverbank parallel to Dallas Spencer Mountain Road. We watched a bald eagle soar across the South Fork in the same spot, a flight that was prepared about in The Gazette in Oct 2009.

That is till my shortly-to-be spouse, whose car was already conveniently fitted with a roof rack program, asked for a kayak for her birthday two decades ago. Quickly soon after, I obtained just one of my personal.
