LAKE SANTEETLAH




There is a beautiful lake in western North Carolina called Santeetlah. I made two boat camping trips there this Spring. The first with my friends Dan and Doug in Dan's small motor boat and the second with Jamie in a canoe.  We had perfect weather on both trips. Lots of relaxing and fishing.


 TRIP #2:
