It was a beautiful day for a paddle, albeit somewhat breezy, and at least 4 of us read Mike's email about going to Golden Lake.

Speaking of which, the winds were coming from the West, which of course is right down the line of the basins of Crooked Lake, making for some fun … Continue reading 6.10.25 FW Kayaking Group: Crooked Lake
