2/24 - 2/26/17

I dropped the kids off at school and headed to Laurel River Lake. The weather forecast looked like it should be a good weekend, but a little windy and some rain overnight. One lesson learned on this trip, wind really matters when you are paddling. I never really paid too much attention from a backpacking point of view.

Beautiful day, but launching into the wind had waves breaking over the bow of the kayak. Once I got out of the wind, I was able to enjoy the day.



Here is me enjoying the day even more


I found a good campsite with potential sunset views




And then the stars came out


The next morning it was very windy


I ended up putting in at the boat in campground and doing some hiking


and then setup camp and waited for the sunset and stars


The sunset was not that impressive, but the stars were really nice


Woke up the next morning to sunny and no wind, an easy paddle back to the boatramp.


A great couple of days, more pics and a lot more detail here https://backpackandbeer.blogspot.com...iver-lake.html
