We were invited by friends to spend a weekend camping at Chain O Lakes. We took our new canoe trailer and loaded up for the weekend.
We entered the channels connecting the lakes not knowing what to expect. What we found was a nice and peaceful passageway with lots of twists and turns. A fun challenge for a 18.5 foot long canoe.
We took a break in the middle of a bigger lake and enjoyed the views.
Some lakes had alot of algae and skum. It was kind of pretty in its own way, but it had alot of drag. Someone said it was like paddling through carpet.
Here are our friends in their rented canoe making their way through.
To balance out the canoe weight, I had my #3 kiddo sit way in the tippy tip of the front. He was the "figurehead" as on a pirate ship.
In the evening, we met up with our friends (8 campsites worth), and we all shared in a taco bar for suppertime. The highlight was a Dutch Oven dessert. I learned the mysterious ways of stacking Dutch Ovens with each other, and baking the entire stack at once.
The results were:
1. Cherry cobbler
2. Apple cobbler
3. Blackberry cobbler
Peeking through the netting of the window of the tent, kids slept well overnight. They slept in pretty well til mid-morning.
It was a great park, and I hope we can go back in a few years.
