Journal Entry-- July 5, 2008

Today I went on an adventure with my rowboat. First I was just tooling around the small lagoon. Then I went over to the forest of Reeds. I pulled the boat up on shore . And I explored the area. There was a small steep road that led up to the main highway road. And I also too some of the smaller brush paths.

On some of those brush pats ther were some very large insects. And they also looked over some fish habitats in the seaweed, I mean lakeweed.

There was a good swimming shallow near the shore in the Forest of Reeds. Only one problem I saw. An overinfestation of green algae cluds in the area.

I proceeded to launce off the shore and I rowed around Red Wing Blackbird point. (They are very prevalent in this area.)

And in the shimmering water I thought I saw the handle of a shovel. I thought I would come back in and retirieve it on my way in.

And then as I continued rowing I saw what appeared to be a golf ball sitting at the bottom of the lake. The shimmering white object was just sitting there. So I reached through the surface and retireved the golf ball like object.

At this point I turned around and headed back toward the point and I got to the "shovel handle". It ended up being a stick.

I included images of the two items retrieved.
