With the onset of cooler weather the turtles at my local lake have resumed basking. Or maybe they just want a good look at the Fall color. With the lake almost empty they’re more relaxed too
Took our new Northstar Tandem out for a test drive at Bear Creek Lake North Carolina on 10/14/2021. This picture of Sols Creek Falls above Bear Creek Lake, does not do the area justice, it was beautiful. There are actually 4 waterfalls around the lake, Sols Creek Falls is the largest. Air temperature was in the mid 70s, water temperature was right around 70.
Was sailing yesterday with friends, and thought these might be acceptable. They are just pretty pictures after all. The first 3 are taken by my friend Clint.
Love that shot of Paris peering out from under the cockpit.
Stunning! I need to see the northern lights in person in this lifetime.
Great, yes it does.
Crossing Alcona Pond this Saturday (October 23, 2021 - AuSable River)
Leaving Camp & into the mist Sunday morning:
Love it…. Great memories coming across Alcona at daybreak
I always thought a pond was a body of water you could almost throw a rock across.
Along with Mio, Cooke, Loud and Foote, Alcona is part of a series of ponds, basically large backed up sections of the Ausable River, behind power dams between Mio and Oscoda, mi
It’s local custom to refer to the impoundments on Michigan’s AuSable River as “Ponds”.
We were traveling at about 50% - 60% of race speed and started fresh while the racers would have been paddling ~7 - 10 hours to get where we started at the FS 4001 bridge.
