Paddling Mountain Pond

We never completed the Paddle Pursuit we started several years ago.  So friends decided we should take the opportunity to paddle Mountain Pond today.  It is reached via the roads at the Hays Brook trail system north of Paul Smith's where we hiked among the lady slippers last week.  The weather was nice, there weren't many bugs, and the paddle was very pleasant.  So now we've done all the required large and small lakes.  Just a few rivers to go and we'll qualify for the patch.
