adirondacks

     I was camping up at middle lake saranac for about five days with family and friends.  It's the best camping, canoeing, kayaking, fishing spot I've ever been introduced to.  I was there last year, so this was my second trip. Last year was pretty much a three day fishing marathon.This year I spent much more time relaxing and just enjoying the camping.The fishing wasn't as off the hook as last year, but then again I did much more experimenting. I caught a large mouth bass on a Hogy (homemade version), yellow perch on a small popper, small mouth on spinner baits, yellow perch on buzz bait, and of course plenty of small mouth on rubber worm.
     The only real buzzkill the whole trip was when Maisy attacked a friends dog, Buddy, and he had to go get stitches in town.
     I've got a ton of pictures.   These are some of my favorite.  However, as is always the case, neither words nor pictures can adequately capture the serenity and solitude of camping in a spot where the closest other campsite is a 15 minute paddle across a lake.

Wendy is always pointing, "Look over there!"

Marshmallows are better burnt (Haley did stuff chocolate
chips in some which was delicious)

There was always surface action near our campsite...
