Looking down and across the lake as morning arrives.

Sparkle down on the lake as it continues to clear on out.

I didn't realize how quickly it got late at Big Pond, and I had even started dinner. To make matters worst, my white-gas lantern wouldn't start, so I had to do everything by flash light.

This is at one of the other campsites at Big Pond.

With all the camping gear in the kayak, or most of it, including the stove and pot top on the deck. The kayak rode well with all the gear.

While most of Big Pond is part of the Middle Mountain Wild Forest, about 200 feet of shore line is privately owned. The folks in the cabin where really friendly when they stopped by in their electric pontoon boat, but it did kind of wreck the scenic view especially from where I was camping.
