So the Moonlight Paddle came and the weather was not perfect. But who needs perfect weather to have a fun program? As I was driving up to Lake Michie it was overcast with some light drizzle on and off. When I pulled in to open the gate this is the view of the sky over the lake.
Mostly cloudy, but maybe we would get to see some stars. Unfortunately the weather kept a few people from showing up, but one adventurous group did come out and we had a great time. Now let me mention at this moment that it was dark out as you can see by...
I took this picture in the middle of the lake; and even in this darkness we saw multiple beaver tail slaps, spooked some heron, and we even saw a baby raccoon on the shoreline. I have to give credit to one of the group members as she was finding everything, with a little assistance from a flashlight. Now even though it looks pitch black out, the overcast skies provided some illumination due to the lights of Durham reflecting off the clouds. All in all a fun program on a chilly night. Hope to see you at our next program. Check the link for Environmental Education Programs to see what we have coming up next.
