100 mile – Day 4

Weather can change in an instant.  While I stood at the boat landing talking with a couple of the parks rangers, the sun was breaking through the clouds regularly.  In fact it was a, “nice day for a paddle” as the ranger suggested.  It stayed nice for about the first half hour at least.  Slowly though, more clouds came in, the wind picked up and it became rather less “nice.”

We’ve been talking about how low the lake is.  Have a look at this.
Normally most, if not all of the rock you see here would be under water.

I came across this spider near the diving rock just off of Tumbled rocks trail.
It was about as big as the palm of my hand!

By the time I got to the southern end of the lake the clouds were getting quite thick and the wind began to pick up.

I paddled along South Shore Road as waves splashed against the rocks.

The sun had broken through again as I returned to the north shore.  Here a railway worker was moving stones
to control the erosion along the tracks.

Only 88 more miles to go…
