Get Outdoors in GSO on Lee St.-- on Lake Brandt, Lake Higgins...

Approaching August, the sun is starting to settle in a little earlier and the thermostat has been creeping down. This scene reminds us that summer will not last forever and we need to take advantage of the nice weather we are having and "GET:OUTDOORS." 

Formerly Pro Canoe & Kayak, GET: OUTDOORS is a North Carolina grown business, beginning in Raleigh in the 1980's. At one time, many of their kayaks and canoes were made in North Carolina. Perhaps they still are. This company offers classes, demos, and night trips and maintains an events calendar and paddling blog to keep you informed on everything that it has to offer. The store has been located on Lee St. near Aycock since we can remember. Regardless of where you get your kayak or canoe, we encourage you to purchase one and try it out on one of our nearby lakes.

As photographers, we love the visual appeal of all the kayaks on dry land! The stripe on the top of the building blends perfectly with the cloudless sky!

Now's the time to buy and get on the water before summer is gone.

Hard to believe we are headed toward fall already.

The assorted colors are striking. I also like the name of the business.

The colors and the craft are really inviting here in your photo.

Love it! I am not brave to ride these boats, but they are really cute - look at the seats - so romantic. Are those good for rafting in the mountains - or those are different boats /forgive my silly question/. Very colorful summer pick!

Such a bright photo. I love the colors of the kayaks!

I can remember when this was a Wrangler Blue Bell store back in the 80s
