Kayak trip to a mountain lake that has had one of the largest draw downs in many years... my favorite playground!
Over 100' of water MIA, likely out in the Salish Sea
Paddling through the tree tops
Appears to be the hind paw of a Cougar... probably 3-5 days before we showed up

We had to cover a little over a mile and about 700' elevation change on foot, my buddy Karl decided to try carrying his pack AND Kayak at the same time.
That's about 80 lbs total, not bad for a 66 year old mountain goat!
Check out the giant bumble bee just above the bow, probably thinking mmmm, something that big and yellow must be loaded with pollen.
