| East of East Bethel (Easter Bethel?) is the town of Linwood. And that is where Martin Lake is. A friend took me kayaking on Martin Lake and we went up the west branch of the Sunrise River. |

| The sky was so blue it was beyond belief. We saw a green heron avoiding us. A bittern, a very reclusive bird, got scared by us and flew up in a tree to look us over. We saw a comorant, great blue herons, and Canadian geese. We were surprised how few boats were on this heavily developed lake. We went up the river until we came to a road. We found it easy to paddle against the current. The bridge over the river left about 2 feet of space between the water and the roof of the concrete tunnel under the bridge. I swept cobwebs out of the way to check it out. If I put my paddle sideways and laid as flat as possible in my kayak it's possible I could have made it through under the bridge by pulling myself along the concrete roof with my hands. We decided against going under the bridge. |

| See how the yellow flowers are reflected in the river water? What an awesome way to spend a Saturday morning. |
