foggy lines

Behind the guarded walls I used to go
Upon a summer wind theres a certain melody
Takes me back to the place that I know
Down on the beach

There are times when I know I’m much more cautious than most when it comes to taking new paddlers on the water. I realize too that people will sometimes follow almost anyone, anywhere. They trust that the guide is an “expert”. Besides sometimes it’s hard for a new paddler to distinguish the danger levels between a bass boat on the local lake and a kayak on open water. Many in fact never really grasp the concept of risk in the natural world at all. Not until they find themselves in deep, deep trouble anyway…
Superior Weather

Just popping in from the motel to share a bit about the day. The weather here on the lake is volitile and changing quickly as is the way on Lake Superior. The air temperature inland was pushing 85f while near the water the air temp was in the upper 60s at the symposium grounds and barely above 60f on the north coast. That meant that throughout the day black clouds would gather steam over land, only to stall and blow out over the lake.

Well, it’s getting near Halloween after all! For anyone interested in Lake Suprior, “Haunted Lake Superior” by Hugh E. Bishop, is certainly a book worth having. Here’s the link to Amazon.
