Getting HOT While Trying To Be Cool At Lake Wichita

With the outer world temperature nearing 100 degrees, as measured via the Fahrenheit method, on this next to last day of the 2025 version of July it was to nearby Lake Wichita I ventured, hoping fora cooling breeze to be blowing across the lake, making for some semi-pleasant nature communing.

Well, there was a breeze blowing, providing some heat relief, but it still felt way too HOT.

In the above photo we are about to walk onto the Lake Wichita Boardwalk, walking out over the lake. A nice breeze blew when I reached the end of the boardwalk.

In the following photo documentation, we are no longer on the Boardwalk, we have walked onto the floating fishing dock which is a short distance north of the Boardwalk.

You can see, via the wave action, that wind is blowing across the lake. So much so that the floating dock had some up and down action, so much so that I think those prone to such might suffer a mild seasickness bout.

That is the Mount Wichita pseudo-volcano you see rising above the horizon at the northwest side of Lake Wichita. Mount Wichita looks like it has lost most of its green foliage cover.

I do not remember a year previous where I have found myself so looking forward to the end of Summer and the arrival of cool temperatures....
