Actually, this could be called “punting on the Namekagon” or even “walking the Namekagon.” The water level was pretty low. The Namekagon is a beautiful river that flows south, roughly paralleling US 63 south from Cable, Wisconsin. It’s the northernmost river in Wisconsin that flows south and ultimately into the Mississippi. Just past Dot’s house is the “Great Divide” – water north of there flows into Superior and into the Atlantic via the St. Lawrence River and Niagara Falls.
Today we rented a canoe for Tom and Dot. John and I each rented small kayaks and paddled alongside. My experience was a little more intense than the others – I tipped my kayak and swamped it. Fortunately John was there to help me empty it. On that occasion, the zip-lock bags held tight, but later in the day I let a little more water in, and the camera got wet. If it dries out, there are some great shots Dot took of us on the water.
We all returned exhausted and decided on a simple dinner – homemade pizza, with homemade sauce, and our own choices of pepper, onion, mushroom, pepperoni, and sausage.
