DAY 2. the "ouch" day

View Larger Map
this morning me and daniel packed everything up and hit the river again. going through lake washington was pretty darn exciting. we got to paddle right into a cold front which had winds strong enough to push on your face and make your cheeks flap. all the sudden the temperature dropped like a rock and the wind blew hard all day because of the front. after lake washington we got a little surprise, shallow shallow and i mean shallow water. we nearly had to walk our kayaks a half mile down this crazy gator infested river. then lake winder happened to sneak up on us with gail force winds right in our faces. we eventually pushed through it and headed toward lake poinsette. and there better not be another lake as rough as poinsette for the rest of the trip. after that lake i noticed i wasnt going as fast anymore only to notice that my kayak was swamped from the waves in the lake. now me and daniel are posted up on a little beach right across from lone cabbage fish camp. once we actually got to the camp we were burnt out. we still had another 7 miles to go today but we wouldve never have made it in time. we wouldve been lost and worst of all, in the dark. but anywho were super tired and were about to eat some tylenol like candy. not really but you should be able to catch my drift. tootles
