We have had two afternoons and evenings of severe thunder showers/tornadoes up here. Hearing that the damage was bad in Ashland and Portage, we decided to check out the camp today. As we started down the West Road, Louise spotted a paddle boat that looked like ours near a wharf just beyond the playground. She said to Gary, "I hope that isn't ours." When we reached the camp the water was very high, waves coming in, white caps on the lake, and no paddle boat. Gary and Ryan had used it Sunday.
Gary went down to the camp where we had seen it, and he loaded it on the truck to bring back. Meanwhile, Louise went down to the shore and looked around, spotting the paddle boat two camps down stuck in a little inlet. Gary returned the first one to where he found it, and then dragged the second one up on shore and the two of us got it loaded in the back of the truck and back to the camp. How many times has that paddle boat been rescued? This time it produced a twin! Who would believe two identical paddle boats floating around the same area?
On our way home we took pictures of the storm damage along Route 11 in Ashland. It has been a wild week!
