Today is officially the first day of summer and the longest day of the year. I am hoping that most of the cold wet weather is behind us and summer weather will kick in! However, even though at home we did not got the predicted 2" of rain yesterday, there were torrential downpours in Ticonderoga. We arrived up here at about 8 PM and when driving though town, were amazed to see the La Chute Falls flowing like we had never seen it before. With the deluge of rain going into Lake George, plus overflowing creeks and springs adding to the rising lake level, the dam in Ti was opened to dump more water out and down the La Chute to Lake Champlain.
It sure looked a lot different than it did when we kayaked down the river recently.
Maybe we should do this trip again and have a REALLY fast trip. Did you notice how light it was at this time of the evening in my first photo? It certainly is an advantage of being this far north at this time of year. There was a gorgeous sunset at 8:45 PM to celebrate this, the longest day of the year.
Welcome summer...it may even be 80 degrees this weekend!
