It was a spectacularly beautiful day, so I wanted to get out on the water with my kayak. I drove up to the Nancy Lakes Recreation Area and put in at Tanaina Lake. This is the starting point of the Lynx Lake Canoe Loop that I really would like to do again. But it was far too late in the day to consider that today. I would prefer to do it with another person also. It's a long loop with many portages and very wild. It's also probably safer and a lot more fun with a companion. Although Bella is always an interesting companion. She does enjoy trying to figure out how to get out of the boat and onto the shore without getting wet. She also enjoys barking at anything that moves, such as birds, lilies floating on the water, and her own shadow. It got kind of warm in the bright sun, and I did pick her up by the handle on her life jacket and dip her in the water to cool off a couple of times. We paddled the entire perimeter of the lake. We did hop out for short walks at both of the portages. We walked in to visit Milo Lake, but I didn't bother to carry the kayak in this time. Bella really liked the chance to get out and sniff and run around for a few minutes. I had hoped to see some birds but never got the chance to use my big camera that I brought with me for that purpose. We paddled about 3 miles around the lake. It was very relaxing after the tough hikes I have been doing all month.
