Had another fun day on the water. This time we went to Woods Canyon Lake up on the Mogollon Rim. It was ten degrees cooler than Payson which made for an 82 degree day on the water.
The wind was pretty strong at times and as I made my way from the spillway to the other end of the lake I kept thinking it would be a free ride back to the launching ramp area. Since it was a Friday the shore was crowded with campers who came down to the water's edge to cool off. It made it a bit hectic for the fishermen who had tried to space themselves comfortably along the shore.
Barry and Andy didn't get any fish, but I had a great time paddling. The upper end of the lake has some nesting bald eagles. There were several photographers with serious looking cameras and tripods located on a large rock shelf as well as several kayakers with cameras and big lenses, all watching to get a glimpse of the birds. As I was heading back to the launching area two of the eagles flew over head but I was too slow to get the camera ready and capture their soaring above me.
