We enjoyed watching huge fish leaping out of the lake to eat the bugs as well as beavers making their dens in the lake shallows and farm irrigation ditches.
The area was flooded when we got there but that made it all the more interesting and eventually cleared. As the water went down, lots of small treasures could be found along the shore, remnants of items lost by boaters. The most common item was sandals. Apparently, boating and sandals do not go well together. Someone decided to start retrieving the sandals, one here and one there, and started a collection along the side of the bike trail. The idea caught on and eventually, we had a nice collection of one of a kinds. I contributed to it as well. No sense to it, just fun and seemed like the thing to do with them.
I got in some geocaching in the area as well. There are bunches around there. I found a nice fat ammo can at the state park with lots of antiseptic wipes in it free from the state. My new scooter made it possible for me to do the bike trail caches. I definitely need a mount for my GPS on it now.
