What a late summer!

This summer is about as perfect of a summer as you can get here in Indiana. Rains have been about normal and days have been perfect. SAM and I went swimming on Sunday after the Kayak around the lake looking for anything that swims (and some that did not). Wow, how many years has it been since swimming after Labor Day.

As for the non-swimmers we found on the trip they were clams. In the bottom marl you could see the tracks as the moved. One moved about one meter. We will need to check the progress and to check the survivability next spring. There were about 6 in one small area.

As for the Kayaks, well, they are a new diversion started this summer. We have traveled the backwaters of our wattery part of Indiana. Using a program called USAPhotoMaps we map our route using the Microsoft Terra Server photographs. USAPhotomaps adds a twist – you can get free topo maps too. Isn’t the Internet wonderful.

BTW – check out the history of J Cox and send him some money if you like the free program. It might keep him incented to develop grander things.
