The big winds that were predicted certainly held true but, as of yet, the thunderstorms that were promised never materialized. We did have a couple downpours and big gusts of wind but no thunder and lightning to really make things interesting. At any rate it was still a no go for paddling today. After a day spent fighting head winds yesterday I had no desire to do it again today in even bigger winds. Instead I took the chance to have a real rest day not doing much more than eat, catch up on e-mails, and putter around the RV park with my camera. It felt good to have some down time to myself but I’m itching to get back on the water and get back at it tomorrow. Dave (one of the standup board paddlers that helped me out yesterday) is going to stop by the campground office tomorrow morning at 6:00 AM to cart me and by gear back to the water. He’s planning on joining me for a while so it should be a great start to what I hope is a great day.
The red flag that I saw at the beach this morning confirmed my belief that it was a day better spent sleeping in.
My tent set up on the edge of a concrete slab. Anchored onto the grass and to my kayak loaded with gear to weight it down.
Did you find the people from Wisconsin so you could talk to them? Wonder where they were from?

Glad to see you're staying off the water if it gets too windy and too high waves. Reminds me of the time I fished Buckskin Lake with my nephew and brother-in-law. We fished in the middle. Occasional batches of waves got to be a foot high. We got back to the landing. A guy in a tiny boat came ashore after us. He said,with a straight face, "It's not windy enough! The walleyes really bite when it's really windy!" Choose safety first.

Hi Jake:
So how are the granola bars - bit gooey ? Hummmmm. I added whey protein powder to them this time. Huge hit @ FedEx....might do a little side business selling my goodies. Please enjoy and glad to know the fudge was yummy. If you give me enough time, I'll keep sending goodies.
Hugs, Alicia PS: No O do not give out my recepies..

Whatever you do put in those granola bars besides protein powder it sure does the trick. It's like high octane fuel in my stomach. Thanks again Alicia.
