Lakes Maitland, Nina, and Minnehaha

The usual Wednesday morning paddle on a windy Maitland half of the Winter Park Chain.
 Under way at 8:45











The canal and small Lake Nina offer protection from the wind.





The Fallout Shelter sign I mentioned last week. Which got me thinking.  With no basements, what did Florida use for for fallout shelters during the Cold War?








 A brief shower.  I kept my sunglasses on.












Dark and stormy Lake Maitland.  Threatening skies, no rain.

    I said it because some of the best otter pics I have seen are from these paddles at the chain of lakes.

    Love these photos..especially the one of the kayak going through the tunnel/bridge. And good point about fall-out shelters. Lol. Never thought of that before.

Well, I tried to allow Anonymous postngs. As soon as I did, I had the same problem with the same person/spammer posting comments. One jerk spoils it for all. So,you'll need to register to post a comment.
