Kentucky trip, day 17

May 2, 2007 Green River Lake State Park

Robert, after our canoe paddle on Green River Lake
We didn't get a very early
start,but had the canoe in
the lake by 10:30 AM.
The weather was cool and
overcast. The lake, a mirror,
it was so smooth. We
paddled a couple of hours, stopping once, to stretch then again later, for lunch. After lunch we paddled back and saw lots of fishermen and some
jumping fish. We were never really close enough
to see these fish, but they would come to the surface and then sort of skate along the surface for quite a ways making splashing noises. I've never seen anything quite like that. We also saw some vultures, but not much else. The leaves hadn't fully come out yet and the shore forest revealed no wildflowers. We paddled only 5 miles, but came back to the RV and slept for 2 hours. Guess we're sort of out of shape!
