We had decided to spend an extra day at this beautiful
park. After breakfast, we headed out for
a hike along a trail that went around one end of the lake to a beaver dam. Upon our return, we relaxed for a while, then
rented a canoe and went out on the lake.
The water was incredibly clear, so you could see way down to the
bottom. A wind came up while we were
out, so we didn’t last long, but it was
fun anyway. We also spent time during
the day talking with neighbors on either side.
On one side is a couple from outside Montgomery, AL, who are traveling
in a truck, towing a trailer, and carrying a tandem kayak that is propelled by
pedaling the feet. They spent almost all
their time in Alaska on the Kenai peninsula at a town south of Kasilof, and the
man fished much of the time. They bought
a small freezer that they are traveling with that is full of halibut and
salmon! On the other side, there is a
couple who are from British Columbia but they are full-timers; that is, their
RV is their home. It’s a very big Class
A and they tow a car, but I don’t think I’d ever get to where I didn’t have an
actual geographic “home”.
Grilled salmon for dinner, and a lovely campfire----feeling
very relaxed and ready to take on the next segment of our journey. I do hope we will soon be in a place with
showers and internet access!
NOTE: Enough internet to post words---I'll add photos later!
