Sunday Kayaking

This is the "skull cow" because it looks like it's wearing a mask of it's own skull. Creepy, huh? It was the perfect middle to a perfect day!


Well, the GOAL was to go Kayaking at White Horse Lake near Williams on Sunday. We got up early to get the boats onto the truck in the new carriers and...

We worked
and worked
AND WORKED!

The carriers were just not designed for ROUND bars so two trips to the hardware store and 12:00 noon later, we were FINALLY on our way.

The goal of the trip was two fold:
Go kayaking and
Find Elk (For Dad's fall hunt)

We were at the lake, ON the lake, about fifteen minutes when the storm rolled in, the lightning and thunder started and the RAIN. Oh yeah, we spent over an hour in the truck. Waiting.

The lake was SOOO full that the tube where you put your old fishing line was nearly under water.

But, when I was out on the boat for my fifteen minutes (of fame?) I scooted over to a HUGE bobber floating. I wanted to get it out of the lake (litter!) and give to to Alvin. When I pulled it up, a FISH was attached to it! Dead, of course, but what a surprise. I kept the bobber and gave the fish away.

So, after NOT kayaking, we went for a drive and I was able to do some Feet In The Forest. We stopped by a trail head and took some pics:

Then, we found a stray dog in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE and took him to the police station in Williams. He'll be okay, no doubt.

Dinner at Denny's and then home to start the week. What a day!
