Kayaking again...finally!

Finally, we got back on the water. This time at Meacham Lake in upper state New York, just on the north edge of the Adirondack Mountains (you can see the push pin on the map). 90 degrees hot so we wore our sun-umbrella hats. Launched from the river that came out of the lake. And, of course, all three of us got in the warm lake.

Nice cloud cover kept the heat down.

Katie likes to sit in back sometimes and take a nap.

But, every now and then, she wants to see what's going on.

Quiet, still waters and very, very peaceful.

No bird sounds, no traffic sounds, no airplanes....

It's hard to take a selfie with these hats on so Kim had to stand way back. They really work too!

All done for the day.

This was a very nice paddle. We could not believe how quiet it was. Restful.
