A friend I've known since high school came up to visit Saturday, and we headed over to Lake Benton, Minn., for a nice trip on the water.
The conditions were nearly perfect, albeit a bit hot, but no wind, few boats, just an ideal time for a first-paddling experience.
Kent tried Laura's 15-footer on our way out, then we swapped boats for the trip back. He seemed to enjoy it.
We saw a lot of pelicans and some shore birds. We put this video into the mixture as well.
Lake Benton is a dandy trip, about 80-90 minutes north and east of Sioux Falls. Not a good place to swim, though, the lake is choked with algae, so don't bring the kids to the beach unless you plan to hose 'em off afterwards.
Peace,
Bies
