June 9 - Tuesday I paddled at Clopper Lake
There with the lake to myself until around 7:30 park closes at 8:30
I had many wonderful paddle hours and even stopped at the end and read my book while I anchored for a little while
I have a Seasonal Pass Hang Tag from DNR that I hang from my auto mirror to drive through the gate - boat ramp is easy and a small parking lot there for the boaters although on Sundays it sometimes gets filled by picnicers from accross the way The daily fees are collected at the gate, but it is not always manned mostly on Weekends-Sat and Sun or before 3PM weekdays.. I try to make everything simple pay at the beginning of the year so I can just drive through wherever I go...
A golden age pass may work here.

| Beautiful day on the Lake |

| Very Quiet-a bit windy and I only saw one wild friend |

Sometimes you have to look really hard-from a distance he blended in and looked like part of the tree
As usual he looked at me and decided he would do a standoff
 |
| He let me take some pictures and preened a little |
|
|
|
|
 |
| He watched me out of the side of his eye |
|
 |
| He made sure he was ready to pose |
He seemed to look right at me and then took off?!
 |
| He just moved over so he could let me get close and he posed |
|
He let me get very close, then he changed positions alternately
 |
| Once the contortions started I decided to paddle on |
|
 |
| Got out my Trusty anchor and read some more of my book |
|

A Good Day for a Paddle around!!!
