🗺️ The Adventure Log

Red Fleet: A Place of Pure Wow

Our first stop was Red Fleet, and this place is a place of pure wow. I remember just saying to Todd, "I just Love, Love, Love this place." Being able to glide your paddleboard right next to towering cliffs and up to unique arches along the shore is an absolutely incredible experience. The rocks have a lovely and unique combination of white, cream, and pink-orange colors that are just stunning to see. When you're paddling under the main overhang, you can look up and see that tiny sparrows have built their hanging nests right from the ceiling!

This place is quite the gem, with one huge exception: the **crappy camping**. It is a dumb parking lot camping that is awful, which is a real shame because the lake itself is so beautiful. From the campground, they have divided the lake. Left of the campground is all wakeless and is wonderful for kayakers and paddleboarders, which keeps the fear of a boat causing harm away. If you have a boat, the other side has some beautiful coves to explore.

Side Quests: A Magical Encounter at Browne Lake

After Red Fleet, we continued our quest! At Browne Lake, we were successful, marking **Lake #37** in our goal! But the real magic happened in a quiet cove. While paddling, I had the funnest encounter with such a cute, chubby animal with huge eyes swimming right along the rocks. Of course, having an encounter like that is so exciting, and I just wanted to spend more time with it and identify what it was. I hung out for a while, but it never surfaced again. I'm quite sure it was checking me out from underneath the water, but unfortunately, I couldn't get another look. It was a perfect, mysterious little moment.

Later, we visited Long Park Lake, where we caught a fish by the inlet, marking **Lake #38!**

💡 The Debrief: Nature Therapy & The "Why"

As you know from my **VR Getaway** channel, my mission is to transport people to beautiful places for a positive boost. Science has found that being immersed in nature boosts the chemicals in your body linked with feeling happy. My goal is to bring a piece of that "Nature Therapy" to you, wherever you are.

So open a bottle of Cypress Oil, get a nice breeze going, curl up in a comfy chair, and transport yourself to this beautiful location for an awe moment. You deserve some "Me Time" today!

Red Fleet: The Mini Lake Powell

Our first stop was Red Fleet, and I LOVED this lake! The one side feels like a **mini Lake Powell**, and the cliffs are just amazing to paddle along. Paddling under the cool overhang is super fun, and searching for the dinosaur footprints is like a fun **treasure hunt**. This place is quite the gem, with one huge exception: the **crappy camping**. It is a dumb parking lot camping that is awful, which is a real shame because the lake itself is so beautiful.

From the campground, they have divided the lake. Left of the campground is all wakeless and is wonderful for kayakers and paddleboarders, which keeps the fear of a boat causing harm away. If you have a boat, the other side has some beautiful coves to explore.

Side Quests: Browne Lake & Long Park

After Red Fleet, we continued our quest! At Browne Lake, we were successful, marking **Lake #37** in our goal! I also had an amazing encounter with a cute, chubby animal with huge eyes swimming along the rocks. Later, we visited Long Park Lake, where we caught a fish by the inlet, marking **Lake #38!**
