We set out to find the hidden coves where the loon must be hiding and kayaking seems like the best way to do that. We sight only one loon in some 6 hours and 8 miles on the water.  Still it’s a fun paddle.  Overcast skies clear by mid afternoon and Mt Baker even made a partial showing.  Mergansers and eagles entertained us.  We paddled back Sandy Creek to find out exactly how cold that snow melt really is.  Very COLD.  No wonder the lake is chilly since this is just one of dozens of creeks that dump hours old snow melt into it.

It was a lovely afternoon followed by great dinner off the grill…it ended with s’mores. What’s better than that?

Power boats are out and noisy this evening… We secretly hope they soon run out of gas.

Shoulders are a bit sore. We will hike tomorrow and let them have a rest then maybe a bit more kayaking on the north end of Lake Baker on Monday
