Thanks to Gee Edwards for leading this one at the last minute, after Janet had some sort of dancing injury.

Full Strawberry Moon, Banks Lake NWR 2025-06-12, A small but hardy crowd, not scared of rain predictions

Janet did not paddle. Nor did I, although I brought Honeybun, Blondie, and Sky to help out. River stayed home.

Janet and Gee are WWALS Board members.

Janet and Kim Tanner (not present) are the co-chairs of the WWALS Outings Committee. Maybe you’d like to join that committee to help schedule outings.
