Starting out from Rome, NY. Second kayak will be a rental from Old Forge.
Beach at Raquette Lake. Incredible how much fits in these things!
Putting out onto the water. A refreshing breeze and not too many other boats.
Amazingly, you can take a group shot from your own kayak...
Our camp on "Big island" came its own lagoon, plus vists from a mink, deer, family of mergansers, hummingbird, and several loons.
Luxury: a fire pit, picnic table, and a bench.
Back on the water, we explored the entire lake for future campsites and the scenery.
What the well-dressed kayaker will wear...
The view from another site. Water, and more water, with hills in the background and a great blue sky...
