Brenda Leigh goes on more adventures in a U.P. Season, than many people do in a year and she's at it again. This time she's taking us along on a kayaking adventure on the eastern end of the U.P., near Point Iroquois Lighthouse on Lake Superior. This was a first for Brenda, to be kayaking in March on the Big Lake, she was out there with her sister and a friend last Sunday and there was still plenty of ice around the Point, even with the 72° temperatures that day. What an amazing expedition to be a part of, paddling in and around all that ice. You can see in the 3rd photo, where the gals found a spot to rest where there were some dry rocks. Brenda said the rocks were nice and warm from the sun. What a contrast, sitting on the stones in the warm sunshine, with the mounds of snow and ice surrounding you just a short distance away. Only in the Upper Peninsula can you have winter and summer in the same day.

Looks so peaceful but adventurous too. That is a neat Lighthouse to visit!

Brenda's adventures are so much fun to see!

Very cool! I think Brenda should have her own travel/adventure show.

Beautiful photos of a beautiful day. Thanks Brenda. You rock!

When I saw the word kayaking, I knew it had to be Brenda. Really cool pics there, friend.;)
I agree with you, Alex, she's always got somethin' goin' to keep us entertained!

She could call it: UP With Brenda...or...Brenda Gone Wild :-)

Way too cool, Brenda! Your pics made me feel like I was right there with you. What an experience you've given us vicariously!

Hi
Brenda has more sisu, and doubtless more skill, than I do with regard to kayaking. While I never plan to capsize, I always consider it a possibility. So I don't see myself going out among the ice floes. As always, interesting pictures.

Yep...as soon as I saw those pics...I said..."And there's Brenda!"......LOVE the pics again!!! Brenda SHOULD have a tv show...She and her hubby Jim are a pair of the FINEST people to grace our planet. I got to meet them and enjoyed "breaking bread" with them...you won't meet a more wonderful couple!

They hit my bro's B&B in Nahma quite often...maybe a pack should take the place over some weekend! The Pasty Pack...LOL....

I'm spending too much time on Facebook, cause every time I see someones entry, and I like what I have read, I look for the 'Like' button.

I've been in the Iroquois Lighthouse.

How many steps, Thomas? :)

Better late than never with this info.

a little known fact:

All lighthouses have a different color scheme so they can be identified by ship personnel from a distance.

How else would a ship captain, especially in the 1800's know from a distance if he was abreast of Gull Island or Point Iriquois??

Now that's interesting, Eddyfitz, thank you for that info. See, one DOES learn something new everyday! One of many good things about Pastycam!
