Summer has arrived in the desert southwest. I escaped to the Great Lakes for a couple of weeks. Enjoy the hike and paddles from July!
Paddle 18 - McFarland Lake - Minnesota
It’s about 1 mile to the dock for the cabin
The water was a little wavy
The air was thick, and hot
I followed along with the pontoon, filled with my friends
The kayak back to the landing was smoky from Canadian fires
Overall, the hottest weekend I’ve ever spent at the cabin
Paddle 19 - Grand Lake - Presque Isle, MI
Around Crescent Island, Round Island, and shorelines
My brother and nephew were fishing, so my sister in law and I did a kayak
We meandered around and around
It was the first day it wasn’t raining
Paddle 20 - Grand Lake - Presque Isle, MI
Out to Tanglewood Island and around Crescent Island
Morning paddle, very introspective
Great morning to be out on the lake - wish this was life all the time
This was a solo paddle
Paddle 21 - Grand Lake - Presque Isle, MI
My nephew and I went out around Crescent Island on a sunny, warm afternoon
It was a nice paddle and he is pretty quick for a kid
Hike 22 - Camp of the Tall Pines - New Mexico
Spent the weekend at a cabin and hiked along the disc golf course as friends played
It was up and down, through the hills and forests
Rain hit at the end, and we were soaked by the time we got to the cabin
Overall, a great little course and hike
