My boot sunk 4-5 inches every step I took. Tough terrain to move through.

This swan just suddenly appeared. We gave it wide berth so we didn't stress it out.

We took a combination canoe/walk this afternoon across Stormy Lake (via canoe) to Gooseneck Lake (via rubber boots). The weather was a little blustery but not bad. The walking was very difficult, however, as we tromped through water, bog, mud, etc., all the way to Gooseneck Lake. We saw lots of birds including a swan that just appeared out of nowhere. Once we got to Gooseneck Lake we remembered how it looked when we were there on our skis this past winter which is difficult to do now that the snow and ice is gone! We were very tired on the way back and Gabby was completely exhausted after running at least five times the distance we walked. Dogs are like that. It was a great day and we enjoyed making the...Stormy/Gooseneck Lake(s) Canoe/Slosh.
