I got to go on a weeklong kayak trip down to the southeast arm of Yellowstone lake a couple weeks ago. My dad and his wife came too. We've been trying to do it for 3 years. A guy I work with had 2 sea kayaks he let my dad and Peg use so we finally got the trip done. It was probably the best trip I've had and would do it again in a heart beat if anyone out there wants to go. I thought it was way easier than backpacking.
Dad thought I was putting on weight so these 2 photos are for him :)
View of the Promontory. I would definitely like to get a campsite on it next time.
2 otters cruising the shoreline
some backcountry
Behind me is the view into the south arm, a trip for next time I guess.
Dad and Peg relaxing
We paddled up the inlet to the yellowstone river a couple miles. Dad said he saw a bear walk out onto this sand bar then leave before the rest of us could make it around the bend to see it.
There were some fresh tracks in the sand heading to where dad thought he saw the bear.
After kayaking in white caps with the wind blowing against us what seemed like all day this was the second nights campsite.
Had to take a break from the ruff water we had on our second day.
Fishing wasn't very good at all. Only saw a couple fish along the shoreline. Waste of money for a fishing license.
last campsite and probably the best one on the lake. Had great views, the grass along the meadow gave me some allergies making it a restfull night sleep for everyone in the tent.
last night for photos
