Last day on the water

Although it’s getting late in October, today’s weather was gorgeous. We accepted an invitation from our friends Gary and Susie to join them in a kayak expedition on Lindbergh Lake. The fall colors are in full swing, and the forest around the lake– and in fact in the entire area– is an incredible mix of evergreen and brilliant yellow larch.

The water was glassy smooth when we started, but the wind picked up and for the remaining three hours we were on the water, it was a bit choppy. But the sky was crystal blue without a cloud in sight, and all of us kept commenting on how beautiful the trees and lake were.

Lindbergh Lake is about four miles from end to end, so we went all the way down its length and then back again.

Afterward, we stopped for pizza at Rosa’s, making a great end to a great day.
