Zion Family Camp 2020

Zion Family Camp a Farragut State Park August 2020.  I didn't take many pictures except on our kayak day.  And what a day it was.  

Beautiful!

Off we go.  I wanted to go the width of the lake but after a conversation with Mike I chose not to.  A long way against the wind.  As you can see it was a bit choppy. 

Mike and I  headed for the point on the left.  We did have the wind against us!  

As we got close to our first destination I took a detour! 

Mike and I saw that circled thing in the distance.  We didn't know what it was.  Let's go find out, again across the lake but not as far!  Mike decided to stay on course.  I decided to investigate. 

This is the direction Mike took.  He was headed toward Bayview. 

I didn't think I would ever actually arrive but I got right up by this thing and discovered it was a barge moving slowly!  I had no idea what the barge was all about but we found out later.  It was a navy barge.  The navy uses part of this lake to test acoustic development of submarines.  Now the trek back to find Mike.  I saw a tiny yellow speck that I knew was his kayak and headed for it. 

Took what seemed like forever to get to Mike.  He was scoping out Bayview.  A little fishing town that was very unique.  It was also a resort area.  The garages hold boats.  Gotta love that!!!

This was my close person friend at Bayview.  This duck followed me around for awhile. 

Highlight of the trip.  I heard a thunk on my kayak and turned around to see the duck on the back of my kayak.  Amazing.  It stayed on my kayak for about a minute.  Seriously,  it was a highlight of the whole trip.  I wish I could have taken a picture but no chance. 

We ended the evening with a fire, s'mores and visiting with friends.  Fun times at the family camp!!!
