Watson Lake, Arizona Photos from the Sherman Family

Earlier this week, we shipped out a beautiful kevlar canoe to Arizona. We are pleased it arrived and has already had it’s maiden voyage. These are the photos we received as well as the letter describing the area.

Dear Holy Cow,

We thought you’d like to see Watson Lake in Prescott, AZ.  We bet you didn’t think you would see anything like this scenery in AZ! Watson Lake is surrounded by very picturesque granite boulders that were formed long ago when molten granite was extruded up to the surface from far below, cooling, cracking, and weathering into all these shapes.  We really like the canoe. It did seem a bit more tippy than our old Grumman, but we learned to deal with that. It did paddle nicely. Many of the southwestern states along with California are in the throes of a major drought. Lots of lakes are bone dry. Prescott is the exception; all our lakes were over their spillways this year! Not true about Lake Powell and Lake Mead which are at or below 50% full pool. Getting real serious if we don’t get weather changes for several years.

All the best,

Thank you to Tom and Kathy, for sharing your maiden voyage with us with these beautiful pictures. We are saddened by the drought you are experiencing. We do hope that the rains come, and you’ll enjoy your canoe whenever you can!

warm regards,

from all of us here at the cow.
