Earlier I noticed a woman wading across Mills Lake out to an island. That looked like fun, so I put on my boots for a bit and hauled my pack south a bit to the starting point. Don arrived just as I was ready to enter the water! He took some pictures of me.

This was fun, but very risky! Not so much falling off slippery underwater rocks and getting cold, but I should have left my wallet back in my pack! I barely managed to make the crossing both ways without swimming, but did get wet up to my pants pockets -- including my underwear.
