After a late "ice out" at Poplar Lake we have been blessed or maybe cursed with a really weird summer. Early on we had daytime temperatures in the upper 80s. Now when we should be experienceing our warmest weather we are having nighttime temperatures in the low 40s. While the cooler weather is great for sleeping the water hasn't been very warm for swimming.

So far this summer I have not used our lightest sleeping bags or our warm weather tents. However, the milder weather is forecasted to continue well into Fall and should make for some great canoe trips once the bugs and crowds are gone.
Since it is an established fact that I don't take very good photographs I have decided to share some pictures that one of our guest sent us. Both of the photos were taken at sunset out on Long Island Lake. Except for a couple of days when paddling up the Cross River was a challenge due to high water, the route from Cross Bay back to Poplar Lake has been our most poplar trip this summer starting from somewhere beside our home lake.
