Another Beautiful Day

Today was very calm so a group of us paddled on Little Tupper Lake.  We had a very nice paddle, stopping at campsite #10 for lunch.

Paddling the Rollins-Floodwood Loop

We did a variation on the usual Rollins-Floodwood loop today.  The Floodwood road is closed so we put in at the northern parking lot on Follensby Clear, portaged to Fish Creek, paddled up to Copperas and did the loop through Whey, Rollins, Floodwood, then back down Fish Creek through Square and Fish Creek Ponds, up Spider Creek and back into Follensby Clear for a total of about 12.5 miles of portages and paddling.  It was a beautiful day.

Paddling to Raquette Falls

A group of us had a nice paddle from Axton Landing to Raquette Falls and back.  The current was strong, so after paddling hard upstream it was nice to basically float back again.  As usual, the group was a good advertisement for Placid Boatworks.

Adirondack Carousel

We visited the new carousel in Saranac Lake this morning.  The carved animals/birds/bugs are very neat.

Quilt #24

This one is hanging from the loft railing at camp.

Back to NJ

We drove back to NJ today for a doctor's appointment.  We'll spend the weekend with family then back to camp on Monday.

Memorial Day

A large group of us (21 to be exact) did our annual Memorial Day paddle plus picnic.  We paddled the Upper Osgood, stopping for lunch at the campsite which this year was unoccupied.  Then we went to M&P's for a picnic.  A very nice day.

Another Paddle with Friends

We couldn't resist another paddle today since the weather is so nice.  Nine of us put in at South Creek again, this time heading for Weller Pond.  The winds ended up being much stronger than expected, so we got quite a workout.  At least the winds kept the bugs away.

Neat Moth

This fellow was on the column of our porch.  If it had been on a tree, we never would have seen it.

Paddling with Friends

Thirteen of us had a great paddle today in beautiful weather.  We put in at South Creek and paddled through Middle Saranac, down the river through the upper locks, and out into Lower Saranac, taking out at Second Pond.  We did some exploring of the creeks flowing into the river and explored Pope Bay on Lower Saranac where we had not been before.  So we ended up paddling nearly 10 miles.  Then we went to hang out at B&G's afterwards.
