A fun day in the rain...

Ben and I noodled around on our own today, running various chores, and had a fun day...we started off by laying claim to a campsite on Little Green Pond for a camping trip that I am planning with some friends this weekend...it rained some of the time and was sunny the rest...


We set up a screen-house and a few chairs and tarps to establish a presence in our site...we also explored the awesome site and pond a bit...Ben and I will be back after my friends have gone for a night of camping, just the 2 of us...


It has a nice sandy bottom, and a rope swing, and was filled with little swimming and scuttling things for 5 year-olds to chase...


Yup, those are 2 loons about 20 yards past Ben...they were fishing and talking the entire time that we were there...


It looks like a nice little pond to do some paddling on, and a nice place to spend a night out in the woods, close to home...


After setting up the camp, in a limited way, we stopped off at the Fish Hatchery, and Ben fed some of the monster Landlocked Salmons in the tanks...that one on the right wanted to forget about the fish-kibble and eat Ben, but I stopped him with a well-timed photo-flash in his beady little eyes...

We ent home to dry off, then went to the library, and out to lunch, and then over to Lake Placid to play at the exquisite playgorund at the elementary School over there, before coming home for some Chinese food and then a soccer game...a full and fun day in the ADKs!
