ROCK FALLS – Karen Miles just has a knack for people. She’s friendly, outgoing, fun, and in possession of a fabulously charming New Jersey accent. What’s not to like? By day, she coaches P.E. in Prophetstown. By night, she more than 100 of her closest friends make up the rapidly growing Facebook group called the Yak Yak Sisters. What are the Yak Yak Sisters? So glad you asked. Karen doesn’t actually know all of the people who are fans of the Facebook page she runs – not even half, actually – but they do all have one thing in common: a love of the outdoors, and kayaking. Every Wednesday at 6 p.m., a group of “sisters� and a few “brothers� meet at the Hennepin Canal boat launch off state Route 40 in Rock Falls, just south of the Candlelight Inn. They drop their kayaks in the water – scum, bugs, and plants be damned – and head out together for about 2 hours of laughing, chatting, and paddling. They’ve never actually had all 125 of their Facebook sisterhood on the water at once. In fact, the most they’ve ever had happened this spring, when about 30 people showed up with their kayaks, including a troop of Boy Scouts with canoes, for a “blessing of the

An eye exam is a good idea, especially if things are starting to look a little fuzzy around the edges.

vessels� performed with holy water and everything, by a pink-kayaked pastor who’s part of the sisterhood. On Wednesday, a group of sisters plus a few brothers showed up a little earlier than usual. Brownies (and one Daisy) from Tampico Girl Scout Troop 253 needed to learn how to kayak so they could get a kayaking badge, you see. Seven Scouts in all – six thirdgraders and one first-grader – took to ’yaking like ducks take to water, and as far as this reporter is aware, no one fell in. After exiting, there were more than a few exclamations about wet pants bottoms, but that’s a risk serious ’yakers must take. The idea for the group arose from a conversation that Karen, 55, had with fellow sister Carolyn Hohenboken, 52. They were in church one day with another woman in her 70s who mentioned that her sister in Minnesota was part of a kayaking club. “We said, ‘We should do that!’� Karen said. And, well, that was that. Now, things are getting pretty serious. They have hats and shirts and everything. “In the winter, we snowshoe,� Karen said, laughing. “We go to concerts. We have a lot of fun.� “There’s nothing like being on the water,� Carolyn said. “It’s here, and it’s just open, and we should enjoy it.� And enjoy it they do.
