Summer Solstice Celebration

The Northwoods chapter of ADK held a BBQ in celebration of the summer solstice today.  It was at campsite #62 on Second Pond.  Since we had to use the boats to get to the campsite, we put in at the boat launch a couple of hours early so we could do some paddling first.  There were lots of motor boats heading into Lower Saranac Lake from the launch, so we headed the other direction down the Saranac River toward the locks.




We also explored quite a way down Cold Brook until downed trees blocked our way.


We paddled about 5.5 miles before returning to the picnic.  The weather was fantastic, with enough wind to keep away the bugs.
