Lake bemidji

...Gage...yesterday was our first day of sunshine, and what a beautiful day it was! The view kayaking down the river is amazing. So many hills and the greenest grass you will ever see. Since it was such a nice day we decided to make it all the way to a town called bemidji, a 30 mile trip. After all the turns down the river and battling huge wake in two different lakes we were pretty exhausted when we got to our destination. And come to find out we when we got thier, the place we thought we were going to camp at was still another couple of miles across the lake. Nobody was feelin doing that, so wefound this tiny patch of woods right behind this university and neighborhood. There was also a little trail through the stretch that people went walking through, which we slept about a foot away from. Pretty sketchy. All night I was waiting for a bum to try to jack me for stuff. We tied our kayaks up to some trees and left them in the water. It turned out to be pretty straight. Me and Galen walked into town and grabbed a burger which was amazing! I'm talkin waiters mushrooms,cheese, thick bacon, and onion rings on the burger. Incredible! Ranger danger Chad stayed behind and did his things and watched over camp. We Grabbed a few beers, drank them at camp and went to sleep. Woke up and resupplied in town, then hit a quick 5 miles up to another camp site. Might storm starting tomorrow through the weekend so we might be chillen at this spot for a couple days. Should be interesting. We would all liketo thank Eric at the university's kayak shop for helping us find a place to sleep and watching over our kayaks when we went get some things on town. Got a few pics below of some statues in the town, ole big blue!
