Hi all,
 
Thurs Aug 1, 2002
 
Running a little behind with this email, I guess because we're having too much fun.
 
 
Today we are renting a pontoon boat for a half a day and cruising up the chain of lakes.
Between each lake is a small canal.
We can only go as far as lake 4 because the canal to lake 5 is to shallow.
 
 
The weather is awesome. About 80 and sunny.
 
 
From the lake we can see Bald Mountain.
 
 
With my camera I can zoom right up there. This beats climbing up there.
 
 
As we were going between lakes 3 and 4 look what we found
taking a bath up ahead of us. He looks friendly !
 
 
But the closer we got the bigger he got.
 
 
Does anybody have any bear repellant ?
 
 
 
He decided that we did not look good enought for breakfast I guess.
 
 
Back to the woods for some peace and quiet.
 
 
Good thing the captain ran him off.
 
 
No wonder the bear took off look what it was looking back at.
 
 
After that the rest of the trip was somewhat uneventful.
 
Oh we did manage to get a tie line tangled up in the purpeller
but Prilly made the supreme sacrifice and jumped in and got it out.
 
We got back about noon to the dock and had lunch at the Muffin Patch. Then packed up and headed back
to Horseheads.
 
see you soon........
 

This concludes this trip.
