Paddling the Raquette River

We had our "traditional" paddle and picnic for Memorial Day.  Over 20 of us put in at Axton Landing and paddled the Raquette River to the Crusher.  The water was so high from all the rain we have had that the ride was very fast, despite some high winds in our faces.  The weather was great, a bit cool in the wind but bright blue sky.  And the bugs aren't bad yet, though there were lots of mosquitoes at our lunch stop.
Then off to the picnic with this great bunch of friends.
