On Saturday, June 6th, we had another successful community event! People came from Plattsburgh and Jay, both in New York, to canoe on the Bouquet River.
The weather cooperated by providing lots of sunshine. There was also a little wind, which managed to make the trip downstream more difficult than the trip upstream…just enough wind to keep things interesting, though, nothing dangerous.
After canoeing down to Lake Champlain, we beached our canoes and ate our lunches. The children, and adults, played in the sand and took closer looks at the birds nearby.
As we headed back up the river to Willsboro, we couldn’t help but notice the active wildlife. There was a turtle taking its offspring for a swim and also a duck followed by 9 ducklings! It was an exciting experience!
I am moving away from the Adirondacks in a few weeks, but days like that will keep my mind here for a long time.
