Hayward Ho!






We (Kim & Joel & Eric came up from Wilmington/Chicago) all met up in Hayward WI Tuesday night (July 3rd). The 4th of July we rented a single kayak for Eric and set off for the Chippewa Flowage, a HUGE lake system just southeast of Hayward. We saw BALD EAGLES! They swooped and dove and buzzed us and caught fish and generally performed amazing feats. It seemed like a fitting show for the 4th of July to see these giant, beautiful, elegant birds living free and wild.
Mike and I nearly ran over a beaver with our kayak. But more about all that at a later time perhaps. For now - just pictures. We`are about to leave to go home this morning. We will drop Eric in Chicago and go home to Minkovitch.

Beautiful photos! Sounds, and looks, like you ALL had a great 4th of July, complete with bald eagles, no less! I get the feeling that this is just the first of your many family paddling trips to come. Thanks again for this blog. I've been magically there with you the whole time.
love,
Susan

Joel and I got so hooked on it all that we got a pair of singles to paddle in. Here is a link to our first outing in our new Kayaks.
