I love flying to Green Peter Lake, Oregon. WX was dry and still (Sisters 6K5 was cold, 18F last night) It was about 50F air @ 13:00PST and the water 45F. The colder temps really feel good after being in Hawaii. Left GoPro in Honolulu, so used an iPAD still frame for this report.


Sun is getting lower during the afternoon at this Latitude:

Nobody in sight. Just me and the Scout:

My Australia cowboy hat is bronzer:

No anchor today, just drifting in a light breeze:


I brought a wetsuit but, didn't use it. The water was great for swimming. Clear, clean and fabulous!

There is snow further up in the Cascades above the lake.

Man, every time I think about talking myself out of an expensive set of floats, something like this comes along...

"Green Peter".....did they name that lake after an outbreak of swimmer's itch or what?

That would be the Island of Yap, Micronesia. Everyday is topless day. Startling when I stepped off the airplane and cleared customs. Sorry no pictures were allowed.

Post trip analysis depicts snow levels lowering to about 3000' MSL. Sisters airport was in the teens last night. We have (7) weeks until Winter too. The "Pineapple Express" is gone for now. No more swimming this season.
