10-23-11 Peace Meadows

I didn't have a lot of time but I wanted to get back out on the boat.  It has been a long time since I've been paddling because of ....well, everything.  My back, softball, hunting, blah blah blah.  Well softball ended yesterday, the weather is beautiful today so I wanted to get back on the water.  I took the morning to clean the house and  start picking up the leaves in the yard.  I finished around 1:00 and got my stuff together to head down to Peace Meadows.  I was a little nervous about how it would be to get in the boat but it wasn't bad at all.  The weather was outstanding, sunny and around 60.  The leaves have started to change, I actually thought they would be further along than this.  Aside from some beautiful surroundings, there isn't much to report on from this trip.  I did see a deer, but other than that and a few ducks here and there, not much in the way of wildlife.  I had three speedboats come whizzing by with two guys in each boat.  They were drinking.  I found it kind of ironic how they were buzzing around on the boats, drinking, carrying on amid all this tranquil beauty.  I'm happy that I'm me and that I can enjoy the peacefulness of the area and not that I feel like I have to speed around drinking to enjoy it.


Here are some pictures from today

Here's the route I took.  Not a super long trip, just under 6 miles round trip.
