Chain of lake swim adventure, lake # 5! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Deer Lake 7-8-24.
On this cloudy morning with the air at 62 degrees, the wildlife was also appreciating the quiet. A heron was fishing as we rode the channel to our start, our favorite family of little ducks, maybe Teals? were living their best life.
When I was swimming, my fabulous captain, Tim Collins, said the loons were flying overhead and singing to me (at least I tell myself they were).
Water temp. was a balmy 73.2.

I had to work on my mental ninja skills because I swore I felt something moving under me
a few times. In my mind it was a big Muskie, maybe the Muskie that the cool pier sign in one of these pictures was referring to 😱😱. Really it was probably more the current as nothing ate my toes!
The water was beautifully quiet and flat, although really dark this am which makes for no visibility when I have my head down.

Hope you are enjoying these pictures and updates as I swim the different lakes! I am sharing for those who love these lakes, wildlife and nature as much as I do. 😀💕🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️

Such a gorgeous 4th weekend!!!
Medicine lake swim was therapeutic (no pun intended). 🤣 The water temperature changed often, brisk in some spots 🥶 with it being deep but nice and warm most of the time, 71.8 degrees. We started a little later than planned, 9:45 am, so lake was getting a little busy by the end. It was a fabulous finish with my new friends who have the pink flamingo floaty near Pikes Pine Isle, cheering me in!! Thank you who ever you are! 🤩
Medicine is such a big lake, I swam over a mile on northwest end and we still didn’t make it half way around!
This is yet another example of one of our idyllic northern lakes on the chain, a shoreline full of beautiful homes (I loved the A-frame), docks, boat houses and swim platforms camouflaged in a green canopy of pines!
Thank you love, Tim Collins, for always keeping me safe as my guide!

Sunny, 66 degree air
Wind 3mp NW
