This is our view when transporting the canoe. Can you see the elephant in the distance?
We put in at Slick Rock and paddled upstream awhile for a better view of the elephant.
Ever wonder what Slick Rock looks like up close? (Sorry, no elephant in it)
The reason we were able to put in at Slick Rock is because the recent storms raised the level of Lake Kaweah significantly. (The elephant is behind us now.)
That is the Horse Creek Bridge in the background. We’ve never paddled up Horse Creek before, because normally we only have the opportunity to canoe when the water level is too low for that area.
Michael spotted this Belted Kingfisher; I’m thinking it should be called Whiplashed Kingfisher.
Almost back to the car. See the elephant? For a few days there was so much snow that it was hard to see him? (Mickey, is it a boy or girl elephant?)
We found an easier way to load the canoe at the end of our excursion. Good thing, because my arms felt like limp spaghetti.
