Waldo Lake Kayak Camp 8-13-19

This is becoming an annual event for us…kayak camping on Waldo Lake. Drove in on a Sunday afternoon, 30-40 minute paddle to our favorite camp spot. Monday morning, got an early start and paddled to the south end of Waldo, close to the shore line trail. We parked the kayaks and hiked to the summit of Fuji Mountain. Tuesday had a leisurely morning at our favorite island beach, soaking in the warm sun, before packing up camp and paddling back to the boat ramp.
Another beautiful weekend on Waldo Lake.

Packing the kayaks with camping/hiking gear…

Wait…is that?…Wow! As busy as it is here at the boat ramp, i’m really not surprised to see a Kayak pull up hauling two bicycles…

Eagle watching all the fun…

Heading out into the main body of Waldo Lake…was a windy choppy paddle to camp.

…worth it though. From camp, a beautiful evening.

Next morning, a shot from the tent…

Awesome morning paddle to the south end of Waldo, for a hike to the summit of Fuji Mountain.

Parked at a nice beach, this is where we’ll catch the trail to Fuji Mountain…

From Fuji Mtn, looking at Diamond Peak, Mount Thielsen, and I believe Mount Yoran…

Got back to camp and found this large fella, we named him Herman the Toad. He hung around for a long time…
