Last Lake

 I made a last minute trip to the lake today. 

Didn't leave until 2:00 p.m. and was home by 5:30 p.m.

I paddled across the arm the boat ramp is on, then, instead of going down the side of the north arm, towards the second bridge, I paddled straight across the lake.  That's because of the wind.  I thought to myself 'I don't want to paddle back up the north side of the lake against the wind again'.  What a wuss I've become.  So instead I paddled straight across the lake, so the waves created by wind from west to east could help me paddle back.  Which they did.

There were a few motor boats out, one or two jet skiis and lots and lots of paddle boarders.  I saw a few kayaks too but mostly paddle boards.

I didn't stay long.  I didn't want to overdo it with my cold just over with.  

It was very beautiful.  Happy I went.





Levels were down a couple feet or so was all.

    Looks great. I am pleased you had a nice paddle. It does look like it is a bit windy.

  4. Sounds like a short but nice afternoon. Sometimes just a taste of the water is good enough.

  A video made about the Green Peter reservoir drawdown.  Will it help at all?   I don't know.
