Mushrooms and Moon Dolphins

Mushrooms growing on the shores of Redoubt Lake

While we were visiting the weir crew at Redoubt Lake, they took us up to the north end of the lake where there is a recreational use cabin. We flipped through the log book in the cabin, and found some interesting entries. This one was so fabulous, that I copied it down, and can share it with you.

Wow, what a cosmic experience. I mean – waking up to a supermoon setting over a lake full of multi-colored dolphins. This’ll blow your mind bro. The dolphins were flying. For real. We all saw it. I think they were moon dolphins. Last night we were attacked by a tussock, but luckily our fearless border collie scared it away with her fierce barking. About 23 times. I think Redoubt Lake might be, like, an energy vortex or something.

Had an excellent dinner of omelets we made from eggs stolen out of a bald eagle nest, and passed the evening by throwing molotov cocktails at imaginary dolphins.

Hope you all enjoy this place as much as we did.

Whether the writer had been partaking of the local fungi or was just being silly, I don’t know, but it sure provided us with a lot of entertainment. If you’re ever calling me on a radio, my handle is “moon dolphin.”
