Impromptu Excursion to the Caddy Lake Tunnels

It’s mid-August and that means that the end of summer is fast approaching.  This realization prompted me to complain that we hadn’t put our canoe in the water yet this year.  Pam suggested that, since she had most of the week off and since it was supposed to be cooler for a few days, we load up the camping gear and go see what canoeing the tunnels at Caddy Lake is like.  Neither of us was feeling particularly energetic, but we did it anyway.  Nobody was sorry.  We all had a great time.

We set up camp on Monday evening and starting paddling about mid-morning the next day.

We paddled through to the second tunnel and then stopped for some lunch.

The weather was perfect.  There was some cloud to cover the sun and it wasn’t too windy.  With some food in our stomachs, we headed back through the tunnel from North to South Cross Lake.

Half way back, we stopped to do some fishing.  K caught her first fish.

After getting over his jealousy, L was again able to enjoy himself.  We got back just before supper.  The trip was about 13 miles.
