Round Lake Boat Adventure

Early this morning, I announced that I would NOT be swimming at our little beach. David told us yesterday that kids had thrown rocks in the water so the beach would not be sandy all over. Well, I think it’s taken a century of kids to fill the swimming area with rocks, and it is far too shallow for my taste.

Instead, we went to a public ramp on Round Lake, about 28 miles away. An easy launch, and we enjoyed being out on the water, though the “roundness” of it, and the predictable housing on its shores were a little boring for Bob. We had packed roast beef sandwiches for lunch but instead stopped at Famous Dave’s (the original one) for lunch. I liked the Moose Drool dark beer and enjoyed watching some Olympic swimming.

Several boats were stopped at a sand bar where people were swimming, but Bob preferred to let me have my swim back at the boat ramp, where I had to watch out for boat traffic. No matter: keeps me on my toes. The water was clear and cool. The afternoon was fun and we will now have roast beef sandwiches for supper.

The shack was very hot when we returned at the end of the afternoon. We brought our drinks outside and are watching late afternoon golfers. I’m hoping for some wildlife but so far all we’ve seen are a couple of wild turkeys (not us) and a deer running across the highway.
