Thursday we drove northwest, across the state line and well into the Adirondacks. Thursday was mostly a waste of driving to difficult-to-find campgrounds only to discover they closed last weekend. Approaching dark, we settled on an open, but all too busy, campground near Saranac Lake. After some difficulties pumping up the air mattress (thanks so much Sea Eagle, your foot pump is moderately fail) we slept reasonably comfortably through the cold, rainy night.
Jeffrey took the tent down in the morning…
Thanks Jeffrey! Then we cruised down 30 for a while, stopping to lay down $30 and get into The Wild Center. We walked their short nature trails, with view…
… and back to the Center itself for a kestrel demonstration. This is Isis, and her handler friend…
And, can’t forget, Stickley the porcupine.

Lara wanted a spot by the water but it was dark and we were tired and grumpy and we drove to a slightly more secluded spot with no neighbors and it just happens that on the one side was a boat launch. I considered that Lara’s water. I’m not sure she saw it that way :>
We really wanted to have a fire but it was raining when we got there, all the wood around was wet and it was too dark to look for dry stuff. We left quickly the next day. Good thing cause it led to that nature center.
