Final Paddle of the Season

Today was the traditional Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples' Day paddle and picnic at Hitchins Pond.  We had at least 15 people with the usual assortment of boats, plus some people hiked in instead.


 









I liked this ground covering of moss and wintergreen where some of our boats were placed.














The weather turned out much better than expected.  Which meant it was a beautiful paddle














and we stayed at the picnic longer than we had intended.  We are driving back to New Jersey tomorrow and the idea was to just spend a short time at the picnic so we would have time to rest before packing the car.  Note to self - do not try to drive back the day after the paddle and picnic.  It is too much fun visiting with our friends, especially since it is the last time we will see them for a while, to try to cut it short.  We should have kept to our original plan and driven back on Wednesday instead.
