Loon Call Lake XI-XIV

After hearing the weather forecast calling for clear skies a temperature of 84F (29C)  with humidity at 90F (32C) it seemed like a good day to go out on the lake.

While Ron got everything together and put into the car then loaded the canoe, I made our lunches and gathered my pencils and sketch books and did the barn chores.

It wasn't long before we were heading up Highway 28 and deciding on which lake we were going to spend the day.















Loon Call Lake XII

We decided on Loon Call Lake as the last time we were there was in 2015 and it would nice to see what changes have been made in the last five years.

One of the cottages at the end of the lake that looked like it was abandoned had been given a facelift; and around the point from it the owners of that cottage had added a four foot tall lighthouse, of which I did  a sketch.

By then it was time to break for lunch and enjoy the warmth of the sun and the gentle breeze, before we would slowly make our way back to the boat launch.

Ron had been enjoying his day as well, he caught four largemouth bass and a sunfish, all of which were safely removed from the hook and carefully returned to the lake.

In one inlet there was a small tie up at the water and a "goat track" leading up over the rocks to an outhouse and higher up was a small cottage at the very top of the rock face.

On this sketch I am not sure whether to do it as a vertical to show just how far up the cliff you have to go to the reach outhouse or leave it as a horizonal sketch. Time will tell.
