Jesse & Son In A Guerrilla Kayaking Trip, North Carolina

my son and I taking a short tour of one of the back creeks located here on Camp Lejeune, NC. The scenery was beautiful and we had to negotiate a few obstacles. I would like to use the term that Chris used on his post we were “Guerrilla Kayaking”.
