Until a few days ago we broke a record down here. 75 days straight of 100+ days and no rain. It has taken a toll on everything. Lakes we’ve paddled on a couple years ago are drying up completely. We even made the national news.

It’s been a tough summer. El Nina can kiss my…….well you know what I mean.
This isn’t one of those, “this sucks I can’t canoe” kinda things. They say that if this continues we will run out of our water supply in less than two years. Completely.

The rivers are starting to get choked up with vegetation. The water has dropped to crazy levels i’ve never seen in my lifetime. Notice the wee little channel on the right.

It was side to side crystal clear water here. It is extremely hard to even get thru now.

But it still is flowing, slowly, but it is 10 times harder to get very far very fast. I feel like this is more a portage trip than a paddling trip.

Sorry for the doom and gloom. I’m a heck of a positive guy, so I hope this pic of a monkey playing hockey will help the mood. LOL

Will it ever STOP raining? The upside is that I can harvest shrooms from my yard. If I knew what they were.

 

We had Irene. Now we have Lee. Katia better stay away.

 

None of this is amusing to the thousands who have lost their homes in Texaa. But  a few hundred lost their homes in New York and Vermont to too much rain. I am just griping. My house is 30 feet above the lake.
