The weatherman said thunderstorms mainly after 5, but this one caught me at 3. Rocky Pond looking toward Doubletop Mtn, Baxter State Park, Maine.
WOW, I have been there many times ... never have I seen it as dry as that. I liked to camp down stream of the falls portage from Koma and let the sound of the water lull me to sleep.We took a BWCA trip two weeks ago, a loop from Sawbill to Little Saganaga, Polly, and back along the Phoebe River. The water levels were very low. Here is a photo of the big rock at the south end of Malberg and a photo of the rock from 2014. As last year, with all the chatter about overcrowding and trashed campsites, we did not experience that. Between last year and this we stayed and looked at about 15 campsites. All were pristine, some were used heavily, though.

Just trying to see if I can post a pic. A rocky shore this past weekend.

Here is one from yesterday
I'm not normally a selfie guy, but returning to camp on a rocky island just before sundown I caught my own shadow. Millimagassett Lake, Maine.
I assume this is in the Pocono's, is that an 18 or 20'er, I forgot. Looks nice and the packs are the icing on the cake.
Yes that was Gouldsboro Lake in the Poconos in our 20' White guide.
Seventy-five year old submerged tree stumps SE of Algonquin Park...
Photo is several years old taken while cruising the shoreline... I had been reading about the history of damming lakes in Ontario which started with water releases needed for logging drives downriver. These are probably white pines salvaged from flooding during the mid-1940s when Bark lake on the Madawaska was dammed much higher for hydroelectricity production further downstream, 8m higher than the older logging dam. I'd read that submerged wood will remain preserved for a long time, these 75-year-old stumps were still solid and nowhere near rotting away.

Scenery looks amazing, the packs look great too. However, I really love the dark stained outer gunnels and half ribs, magnificent looking canoe!
Thanks Bob, I feel very fortunate to own such a nice boat, and I love the way it paddles.
The stumps on my lake are between 130 and 160 years old 
Here is another one.
