wake up to a very cold rain. totally calm winds though.

decide to paddle out today.

just start paddling on jack and look to my left. finally! a bull moose! hes just staring at me. i think of paddling closer but then realize its very shallow and if i happen to breach his personal space he could just walk out to kick my ass. i paddle on and he just stares, motionless...kinda eerie!

flock of bills takes off about 300 yards infront of me. ducks are jumpy up here.

nice paddling...calm lakes.

car loaded and hit the road at noon.

nice trip. im glad i did it.
