With more that 30 years of canoeing together and many of those on the open waters of the great lakes, we decided to take advantage of a calm day (and clear forecast) and paddle out ourselves in our 15' canoe. Arriving early, we beat what seemed like hordes of kayak groups and had the place to ourselves for most of our paddle out to the beach. It was a magical, spiritual journey. We met the first groups of kayakers as we left the beach and ended up bee-lining it back to the put in to avoid the crowd. Steven took a brief video of our journey into one of the caves (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KBQZ46xasA&feature=share) which you might enjoy.<br />I've loved your blog for a long time - first time posting though :) CheersLornahttp://redcardinalcoaching.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-624058825237046782014-07-13T19:51:08.979-04:002014-07-13T19:51:08.979-04:00Fabulous job capturing the adventure complete with...Fabulous job capturing the adventure complete with stunning pictures! The careless counting of boats and almost forgotten lunch were definitely worth mentioning.

Must be some fantastic energy in those caves carved by water. Think I herd a kerplunk or two. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet on tours, both cost and inconvenience but this group does sound a bit unorganized. You'd do better on your own. Yet so glad you did it and shared this amazing place.Gaelynhttp://geogypsytraveler.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-44508379552573369882014-07-08T23:07:54.476-04:002014-07-08T23:07:54.476-04:00What a fantastic tour and great pictures!

You're as bad as me! Isn'...600 pictures? You're as bad as me! Isn't digital photography nice that you can take all the pictures you like and not have to pay for developing them? <br /><br />That was a beautiful paddle and certainly different than anywhere we've kayaked. It reminded me a little of the Suwanee River when the water is low. What gorgeous colors. I bet it would look different anytime you went with different lighting.<br /><br />Don't forget you have a video on your camera and can take videos of things that move too fast to capture. On my underwater camera I shot video, then I found I could edit them later and "snap" the still pictures I wanted. Not sure that would work with the Canon, but worth a try.<br /><br />I hope you get a chance to go back and spend more time exploring the caves. I think I would prefer a guide myself...at least the first time.
