Taking the Trail of the Steam Boat

Many thanks to Pat and Bob Hagen for hosting me on a cruise this afternoon up through Stewart's Landing into Lily Lake, West Lake, and Canada Lake as part of my on-going research for my book Around Caroga Lake, Canada Lake, and Pine Lake.

My cheeks are rightfully wind-burned after an afternoon on the water, where we saw ...

Kane and Camel Back Mountains, with the fire tower on the high left

Ducks in the Canada Lake channel (need to return there with a kayak for more exporation!)

Nick Stoner Island displaying its autumn colors

Kayakers dancing with the sunlight

I returned with a deepened appreciation of the area.

Next time: Let's find Moose Number 6!

Thanks, Pat and Bob.
