After a good snooze and a leisurely breakfast we strapped the canoe to the roof of the van and headed to Moraine State Park to meet David Finegold for a day of paddling, picnicking and pontificating.
The temperature was well into the 80s today and so the paddling was punctuated by frequent stops on the deserted shores of Lake Arthur and plenty of splashing around in the murky waters.
The highlight of the day was finding a "lawn" of lilies on a finger inlet of the main lake. The place was utterly teaming with life. Absolutely beautiful! It was a Zen moment.
Adam spent much of the day paddling with David Finegold in his Mohawk canoe. Both David and Adam can talk with Olympian prowess and I think they are now officially buddies.
Great!
