[singlepic id=256 w=320 h=240 float=left]After lunch yesterday I decided to make the kayak trip to Jimmerson Lake Island geocache. \u00a0The water distance to the cache is a little over a mile. \u00a0I put-in at the bait shop – it was closed – by the ramp and started against the moderate wind. \u00a0Leaving the Lake James \/ Jimmerson channel I took a short detour to see the 6 swans but they did not seem happy to see me so I got out of there before I was attacked.<\/p>\n
I decided to take the little channel that goes between the land to the south and the reeds. \u00a0There were a few houses for sale and some are relatively new. \u00a0As I cleared the little channel on to open water the breeze came up again and I was paddling against the wind. \u00a0Upon approach to the island I ran into shallow water and the kayak began to bottom so I [singlepic id=257 w=320 h=240 float=right]backed out and took the long way around trying to find a good landing spot. \u00a0After I paddled all the way around the island I found my approach – a tree was laying out into the water about 25′ – so I paddled until I hit bottom and schooched forward a bit and climbed out onto the log and tightroped to land. \u00a0I found the cache quickly as it was not covered at all.<\/p>\n
I re-walked the tightrope and made it into the kayak without falling in of making a mess and the schooched back out and paddles back to the truck. \u00a0It was a nice 2.5 mile run and had some more good views of different swans and their fledglings. \u00a0Another great day on the water!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
