Grandpa here

Grandpa Jim-
 Here are the pics of our paddle on Pine Mountain Lake yesterday.  After Kay wanted to go back to the landing I stopped paddling with about 100yds to go, told Kaj to turn around (he was reversed in the stern seat) and paddle us back to the landing.  Even with a little breeze and coaching to switch sides to turn the canoe he got it right away and paddled us to shore.  Lots of discoveries during the circumnavigation of the lake: 3 old beaver lodges, followed a merganser around, saw a boat stored in the woods, learned about horsetails (reedy type weed in the lake), Kaj described an "alley" through the trees up to a high peak, found one potential campsite other than the one at the landing,and on the ride back out of the woods, a rocky slope with thick, thick sphagnum moss and reindeer lichen.
 
 Strong muscles!
 Lunch
 
Going for a ride!
