| A kayak trip is not complete without a major wipe out |
Back from another epic kayak adventure - this one to the Slate Islands in Lake Superior and Neys Park.
Highlights include:
- man-eating waves and wipe-outs = bruises, lost sunglasses, and a gallon of water ingested. But wicked fun!
- trout-infested waters allowing for delicious fresh shore-lunch served on rock platters
- caribou sightings! Five in total, and one morning finding tracks less than a foot from our tent
- a rather bumpy paddle in confused 3' seas through the fog along massive cliffs along west side of Slates. Amazing! And scary as heck!
- EAGLES everywhere and a cool geological formation called shatter cone

unfortunately, no photos of the wild ride along the cliffs in the fog. both hands needed for the paddle!
Amazing trip! Now back to work and writing.
Anyone else have good summer vacation stories to share?

Great photos! Spooky the caribou came so close - aren't they really big?
Too hot here to go outside for any reason.
Wow, beautiful! I love seeing your photos and hearing about your adventures!
Thanks for sharing the pictures - what a beautiful trip!
Gorgeous pictures! Good thing you didn't lose the camera. What type of snake is that?
Those are beautiful pictures! It sounds like it was an amazing trip.
Gorgeous pictures! Have I mentioned how in awe I am of your adventurousness? My character Jenny would be proud. :-)
Beautiful! What kind of snake is that?
Those were fantastic photos. It was almost like I was there. Thanks for posting them all.
Really enjoyed the photos! Much too hot and humid to be outdoors here, so it was a treat imagining myself there!
sounds like a glorious adventure, Terry!
Gorgeous pics. The 3rd one is my favorite!
Reminds me of the Mitchipicoten Islands - beautiful.
