"The Floodwood loop" Kayaking Rollins pond dispersed camping (flatwater) Saranac Lakes Wild Forest
The Floodwood loop (after the storm)
#kayaking #Adirondacks #paddling #adirondackpark #flatwater
Way up north in the Adirondack Park, while on a camping trip to Fish Creek Pond Campground in the Saranac Lake region, I spent a day circumnavigating the Floodwood Loop. High winds from an overnight storm made the first half of the day a real struggle. The second half was relaxing and so much fun, it was a great way to celebrate my 52nd birthday

      Hello Terry, thanks for watching. The bag is part of an MSR water filtration kit, I've been using for a few years. I did filter the water, but I probably didn't need to. The spring is very clean. All the best

    Are used to spend the summers at Miller’s place on the cliff overlooking the Long Island sound when I was a boy I’ll never forget it. It was the most beautiful and tranquil place on earth we used to have a boat square boat that my father built it was called the sandbox use it for a trailer to bring out our suppliesFlushing, New York, and then he would cork the holes that held onto the to make it a trolley cork those with corks and we would roll it out and keep it on the beach to go fishing every day the rock there the big rock on the beach I’ll never forget it. It was it was the greatest.
