Okay - so I've been slacking on the posts - I've been busy!!!  (Not a good excuse, but that's all I've got!)  Last weekend, I went up to Butt Lake by Almanor with Meredith and Chris.  Ralph brought Alli up for the morning on Saturday too.  Meredith and Chris just got kayaks a month or so ago, and Meredith was excited to try out kayaking on Butt Lake.  It is a great lake for kayaking!

This was the lake in the morning:

And this is the lake in the afternoon - love the seagulls on the tree stumps!

And one of them on the shoreline.

Meredith in her kayak:

We found a blue heron and followed it around the lake for  awhile.

Some of the tree stumps in the lake - it's a PG&E lake, so it's man-made - lots of tree stumps.

The lake in the evening - we sat on the beach in our campchairs and watched the meteor showers.

The views from our campsite - though Meredith has a better one I'll have to steal off Facebook.....

Some of the tree stumps are pretty tall......

And some were interesting shapes

We were slaloming in some of them....

We found a nice secluded beach and explored a bit.

A cormorant on the stumps

And Chris out on his kayak, leading the way......
