Time for a paddle work out. Packed up the sea kayak and headed out to Lake James. I've got to get some paddle time in, the Cptn Thurmond Challenge is only a few weeks away.









The views of Shortoff from the lake are amazing.
A self photo to prove I was there.
A little more poseing
On my way back towards the Linville end I started watching the helicopter dip water out of the lake to fight the fire in the gorge.
