Cheat Canoe Cruise

We found a marina that rented kayaks and canoes by the hour. We opted for a shared canoe...which was very wobbly and tippy starting out. John proved his boyscout trip experience with his steady paddle arm. Half the time I lounged and looked at the lake, Queen of Sheba style. The weather was perfect. We bullfrog-sunscreened heavily, so no sunburning. Cheat Lake (why was it named that?) will be a nice memory!








I took many photos of this huge dragonfly. We got out of the canoe (a feat all by itself!) at a tribuatary, saw a little waterfall. Avoided getting run over by a houseboat and several jet skis, but otherwise we had the lake to ourselves. Off-season is a great time to go!
