Long Lake, Minn

Round trip to this great vacation place was 2350 miles, almost to the mile. This was via Loveland to visit Amanda (Ben (her boyfriend) flew her in for her birthday), and we had to pick up our dog.

Of all the years we have been to Long Lake this was our first time to river kayak--first for Mike and all the years he has been up there too. It was really relaxing and peaceful--except when Mike fell in while trying to retrieve a bottle from the bottom of the river.

As you can see we built several camp fires--fun times--good stories, great refreshments/food and a memorable time with Mike and Laura.

Jan and I decided that we are beyond the "water sport" season of our lives. Removing my hearing aids and glasses makes for an difficult time around the water. Lots of "huhs" and I see everything in double. Not to mention balance, weak muscles, thin blood (cold) and all the other "old" issues.

Your vac sounded great. I like the pics. Sorry you are getting too old to do water sports! Do you drive to all of your destinations?
