Canoe trip, June 4-5, 2011

After the long drive to our location, we unloaded our canoes into picturesque Lonesome Lake. The water was a pleasant temperature and the wind was mild. Still, after an hour of canoeing we were glad to stop at a small island to rest and have lunch. The small island had a large rock on it which was a pleasant challenge to climb.Our group left to find a prettier island, and shortly we found a considerably larger island with outhouses. When we had put our tents up (by a cliff with wonderful views), we went for excursions around the lake, paddling happily about until it came time for dinner. After yummy pasta with alfredo sauce, we happily went to sleep.We had left some of the pasta uneaten, however, so the following morning there was a layer of it encrusted in our pot. We learned to clean up our cooking gear before we went to bed. That morning, we paddled around a little more and after some splash fights in the water went home a bit wet. The trip was very tiring but also a good learning experience in paddling techniques and food storage.
