Paddling to Weller Pond

I had a nice 8 1/4 mile round trip paddle with the group today.  We put in at South Creek and paddled into a very calm Middle Saranac Lake.














Then on into Little Weller and then Weller Pond.  We stopped at the campsite on Tick Island for lunch, where I found this neat mushroom.











This chipmunk is obviously used to being fed and explored around us as we ate.














We discovered the "sunny" sky wasn't very sunny, even though there were no clouds.  Apparently smoke from the wild fires out west has made it to the upper atmosphere on the East coast.  I guess this is the end of crisp blue fall skies for this year.
