Kayak Day 1

Map of the lakes
We embarked on our 4-day trip across Shoshone Lake in Yellowstone. Met our guide, Kevin at Lewis Lake, the starting point. It took us more than an hour to load up 2 kayaks, with TJ and I taking a tandem. It is surprising how much you can fit into a kayak. We had 4 days worth of personal stuff plus food and cooking utensils including a stove.

The day started cold but soon warmed up shortly after we left the ramp. It was good timing after the past week of snow and rain. We paddled out to Lewis Lake and through the channel to Shoshone Lake. Paddling in the channel was hard work as the current was against us. It got a bit easier once we hit the lake. Our first camp spot was 8Q9 at about 4pm, after about 4 hours including a lunch stop.
