The gang headed out to the lake for an amazing sunset and full moon paddle last night. The weather had turned stormy on Monday, but all was clear for our Tuesday night adventure. Soooo nice having the lake pretty much to ourselves and a few die hard fisher people. We headed up the canyon against a light current, just enough to make it fun, then casual floated back as the sun slowly slid behind the hills. By the time we were back under the bridge the moon was peaking over the tree tops.
We headed into the sloughs where it got really dark... and a little spooky. We all heard some pretty loud splashes and were pretty sure it had to be the Great Pumpkin out for a swim.
The gang headed back to the dock for some hot chocolate and cookies. What a great night, warm weather, flat water, sunset, moon rise...good friends...great paddle.
Kayaking Lake Tahoe? I've never considered that. My brother has been trying to get me out there for years to ski. Having snow skied once in the last 22 years, I need to visit in the summer time.
ReplyDeleteHi Dave, Our Alpine Lakes are cold, but beautiful! Tahoe has an amazing shoreline, it is getting quite popular to take 5-7 days and paddle around the whole lake. The main challenge is dodging those pesky power boaters chopping up the water! I look forward to coming down your way some day to paddle with those gators.
