Reached Stony Creek Pond on Raquette River. About 2 days ahead. Paddling is going good. Met forest ranger at Raquette Falls. Had lunch with him in nice cool cabin. He gave them some apples. Told them about father/son NFCT team who crashed and destroyed canoe in rapids on Saranac River in town of Saranac. He also gave them weather update about thunderstorms tonight. Have seen a lot of deer and fawns. Hope to reach town of Saranac tomorrow.
