Paddling the Lower Osgood

A group of us put into the Lower Osgood River off Route 30 and paddled down to Meacham Lake where the cars were waiting.  This was the first I had seen cardinal flowers blooming this year.  The current was fast enough that I didn't try to steady the boat enough to get a picture.  But I did get this photo of new cones on a tamarack tree at the beach where we stopped for lunch.

And this one of the usual flotilla.
