We started our campout at Lake Dennison this weekend on Friday evening with a lake view campsite and a clear view of the stars. We had a campfire and s’mores in the evening, and some played Magic the Gathering before going to bed. On Saturday morning, we had an excellent breakfast of oatmeal, bacon, and fruit; and we carried our kayaks to a small beach by the lake. We paddled around the edge of the lake while exploring many of the inlets, and we paddled through a beaver dam area with Canadian Geese and a Great Blue Heron. We finished our trek with a kayak race and mid-afternoon lunch. Following lunch, we did some rank advancement, put up an excellent rain tarp, played games, and later prepared dinner. The rain started in the late afternoon, and it became very heavy in the early evening. We had some flash puddles and leaks around some of our tents and had to returned after sunset to get some dry sleep.
