It's done, slower than expected but that seems to have been the case for everyone. Got there with Anne, who was a good guide since this was her third time. Saw some good friends and neighbors, Ian from MNOC, and Michael and Kelly from across the street. Did not see Dallas and wasn't able to look him up on his sailboat.

Nice run along shore of Chequamegon Bay, along Cty C and down a ATV trail, under power line. It looked like there were more MTB than ATV tracks, nice to see that. Took my morning ablutions in the lake. The whole jog took me roughly around Washburn's golf course.

Checking out the Washburn-Ashland stretch. Easy ride, fairly flat. Curb on Hwy 13 is wide and clean enough for riding.

Going N from Washburn Memorial Park. To with wind in back, fro with waves in face. Drank a few refreshing cups of Lake Superior's finest. Getting back to camp ground I encountered a current that was hard to overcome so I got out at the picnic shelter. Water was cooler than yesterday and wetsuit was generally not too warm. But when I peeled it off, my legs were boiling.

6:48 AM. Washburn-Friendly Valley Rd.-Big Rock Rd.. Burned 1973 calories.

Great start, along old RR tracks, there's now a soft hiking/biking trail. Unfortunately, it's inteerupted by private property but we were forced to take a left onto the Houghton Falls Nature Trails which go along a beautiful streambed carved deeply into the bedrock.
The following 3 km were a bit stressful, along Hwy 13, with lots of early commuter traffic. Quiet again from Friendly Valley Road on until Cty C. We stopped near Big Rock camp site so Mellie could cool off in the stream and have a drink. On Cty C, we saw a deer cross in the distance. Shortly thereafter, a county snow plow (what the heck) passed us and hit the breaks. The deer wanted to get back to the other side. Good run.

Wasn't exactly an easy swim with a labrador retriever trying to rescue me. If the water is this warm on Saturday I won't need a wetsuit.
