Towards Sand Pond Mountain

|

It is the mountain peak in the distance, with Cheney Pond and an unnamed ridge in the foreground. Along that shore there, not visible in this picture, is the paddle in campsites, and the Cheney Pond Lean-To.

Back Out at Cheney Pond

|

After spending a good portion of the afternoon up at Tawandus, I decided to go back down to Cheney Pond, and camp at the roadside site there. But first some paddling around the pond, then some dinner.
