Paddling Hoel, Turtle, Slang Ponds

Today I paddled with a group of friends, putting in at the private landing on Hoel Pond, carrying over the railroad tracks into Turtle Pond, paddling into Slang, and carrying into Long Pond.  The carry was very muddy from all the rain we have had.  Though the weather was nice, but a bit hot, there was quite a headwind going out, so we didn't explore much of Long Pond.  We stopped at campsite 10 for lunch, then headed back to our friends' camp on Hoel Pond for dessert and a nice visit.

I have my new waterproof Olympus camera, so I took several photos to try it out.

There was a loon with a chick that I managed to photograph.
