I am happy because I'm helping collect data for science, and was helping find if there are any invasive plants in Milliken Mills.
I saw brownish water, lots of leaves in the water, trees, plants, birds, bugs, grass, dead trees and plants, frogs.
I smell fresh water.
I hear birds, the wind, and water splashing.
I am suprized by what I found or didn't find because even though it was an invasive species I thought I would find it.
Questions or problems I ran into were the weed weasel getting stuck on dead trees and branches in the water.

Crystal clear
A clear lake bottom is usually a very good sign, and I would agree with you that you did not find milfoil. I would note however that milfoils do in fact have emergent parts, especially during flowering season when small spikes will protrude above the water's surface. Nice job!
