Typical cooking set-up
Day two- beautiful weather for a four-mile paddle.
Tom takes a well- deserved nap during a snack stop on shore.
Our homes away from home- snug- but waterproof.
Campsite R-18 at dusk
Rain covers the White Mountains in the distance- and our group later that day.
Campsite R-18- a great fishing hole as well.
Bob snoozes on a log (before he knew about the huge spider living beneath him)
Gwen, Blair and Bob ready for an excursion up the Rapid River.
Blair plays in the pool below the Class II and III rapids.
A scenic hike along the Rapid River.
'Pete's Rock'
The kayaking group in 'deep thought'.
Kate readies to 'otter in'- sliding down the rock into the lake.
Kate successfully lands in the water right-side-up (the only student to do so).
With a sick paddler missing the last day, Bob and Doug ready for a six-mile paddle in their new invention- the quad-kayak.
Bob and Doug pretend to be excited about the six-mile paddle...
Bald Eagle next at the north end of the lake- with both parents at home
Bob gets chummy with the Bald Eagles- this is the closest our group was allowed to get to the nest.
The only wild mammal seen on our entire trip- not including the black bear seen off of the interstate.
The group is packed up and ready to go on the morning of day 5
Blair helps us save room in the van by riding in her boat all the way back to campus...(kidding)
