Well, to begin, it’s not very big and we didn’t really paddle.  A more accurate word would be “dawdle.” And even at that speed, it only took two hours to circumnavigate.

Perfect end-of-summer day below the north face of Mount Washington.

Looking the other direction, was the back of HooDoo, the Butte, and Three Finger Jack.

Not ultraoligotrophic like Clear Lake.  Just oligotrophic.  But it was enough for me to get a picture of my own shadow on the bottom of the lake.

We stopped off on the way home to eat on the deck behind Marion Forks Cafe.  Great spot right next to the North Santiam.

Our table had its own humming bird feeder.

Then we headed on home, taking the scenic route, as usual.
