Took a trip in mid-May to a small, secluded lake just a few miles outside Milwaukee. Dennis Klingman (next door neighbor and fellow canoe-builder) guided us there. We paddled for about an hour up a slow-moving meandering river and came out onto a beautiful 30 acre lake in the middle of the State Forest. Jared and Dennis tried their luck at fishing and we saw a lot of wildlife. There were geese nesting along the river, snapping turtles hiding in the reeds and hawks overhead.
Jared Tyson brought along his family in their beautiful canoe. Their son Sam is sitting in Leslie's lap, their daughter Ella is sleeping in the shade behind the seat and their dog was doing the same.
Dennis and I both built small, one-man canoes. Both were built off plans by Mac Macarthy. We both get a lot of use out of them, mostly because they're so easy to handle (approx. 25 lbs) and paddle in shallow water.
