August 2-6

Thursday we cruised southeast to Paradise RV Campground. Though far from paradise it will suffice for the next two weeks. We strolled Old Town Chehalis had lunch and provisioned.
Friday we checked out Mayfield and Riffe lakes for places to launch the new kayak for her maiden voyage.
Sunday found us back in Chehalis to bike the Willapa Hills State Park Trail. The trail is beautiful and took us through farmland and forest with Newaukum and Chehalis River crossings. Blackberries along the trail were yummy! http://parks.state.wa.us/1023/Willapa-Hills-Trail
Following our ride we had a delicious lunch at Jeremy's Farm to Table Restaurant and Market.

Sunday we relaxed away the morning then took a ride to Mayfield Dam.
Monday we celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary by launching our new kayak into Lake Mayfield at Ike Kinswa State Park. We spent three fun hours paddling and motoring around the lake and up the Tilton River... a perfect day! Love the new kayak, it's faster and tracks better than our old one and the little trolling motor will be great for fishing or when we want a break from paddling.
