August 1, 2025: First day of a two day streak of “Back Outside” Pharaoh Wilderness / Spectacle Lake 1.7 mile hike was just a perfect “get back to wilderness” hike! Well maintained trail through beautiful pine forests with spectalcle lake at the end. There was even a boat (no paddle) for those who dared to venture out. Weather was cooperating at a comfortable 75 degrees, nice breeze at the lake and very few bugs!
August 2, 2025: 6 Mile Brant Lake Paddle
6 miles of steady paddling! No time to think about creepy things that live under the water, or how deep the lake is. We completed the race in 2hours and 2 minutes, and I’m pretty sure that we were the last to finish the race! Not really where we wanted to place, but the important point is we FINISHED! yay for us!
