Tuesday we decided that we wanted to stay at Rollins Pond for
another night, but our site wasn’t available for another night, but there were
others open, so we took a drive around and picked one. We stopped at Brian’s
house for lunch and then headed back to set up the tent once again.

Then we went out onto the pond (side note: this pond was bigger
than Wolf Lake in NY and the definition of a pond is “a body of water smaller than a lake” according to dictionary.com).
Brian canoed while I kayaked. I have
only been kayaking once before in my life and that was on my family trip to
Hawaii in 2007, so that was a while ago and I’m not the best kayaker yet. It
was definitely quite the workout for my arms. Despite all the working out I do,
I clearly don’t work those particular muscles enough. I felt that I got better
as we went on.

We kayaked across and then to one of the islands where we got out
and walked around a bit.

Then we went around the next island and then headed back. Before
we knew it, it was time to start dinner. We had steak, corn on the cob and
beans. It was delicious! I then watched a chipmunk finish the few burnt kernels
of corn I had left on my cob.

At sunset, we took out the canoe and kayak again and watched the
sun set behind the mountains.
A little later, the stars were out and we did a little star gazing
and saw a shooting star. Living near a big city, I don’t get to see many stars,
so it was like a once in a lifetime viewing for me. When I told that to Brian
he said “next time, we’ll make it twice in a lifetime.” It was a great end to
the evening though.
