Moens Lake Chain – Friday, July 6 • Temp 65º, 2¼ hours on water • Participants (in solo kayaks): • Nancy Brissee • Gary & Jaine Goldade (Sioux Falls, SD) • Nancy Lund (Mason City, IA) • Michael & Rita Shores • (The visitors are Nancy B’s children) Paddling Friends
We put in at the dam on Fifth Lake about 9am during a week of excessively high temperatures. The ladies paddled Fifth Lake and Fourth Lake for over 2 hours, taking out at the dam. Mike and Gary paddled the full chain of 5 lakes, taking out at the boat landing on Moens Lake. Since their ride was not there, they played in the water. The ladies planned to pick up Gary and Mike (& their boats) on Moens Lake. However, they were delayed; jump ahead to slide #27 to see the reason for the delay. Nancy L. phoned Gary, and then sent him a photo of why we were delayed. Paddling Friends
