Snow

This is probably the point in the year where we are furthest away from Snow!
Just look at the flowers that we have in the garden now:

We just need some rain! It is currently very dry and our lawn is really suffering.

Fourth Kayak Trip
July 20th, 2003 – Lake Alimagnet

In Burnsville, not far from us, I saw this stack of canoes, chained to a rack, next to the road. Upon investigation, I found there was a lake hidden just behind the line of trees. This is where I did my fourth kayak trip with Troy in his 16′ long double Old Town Loon kayak.

Photos to follow soon!

Kayak trip Three
July 13, 2003 – Lake Phalen

This lake is north of downtown Saint Paul where many Asian people spend their weekends next to the water. I did not realise that this lake was connected to another, but we soon found our way up a river to the next lake to the north.

The one drawback of these earlier trips, is the lack of a camara – photographs – Troy did not yet have a watertight case to transport his camara in.

You cannot click on these maps to enlarge them, but you can click on the satelite photograph at the bottom of this entry to see it in more detail, like most other photos on this journal.
