Huntin', Fishin', Campin' in the Rain


Checked out Port Kent, on Lake Champlain, finally. Got a campground like 2 miles west of there, by Ausable Chasm, but until yesterday never had been there, even had a page on adki87.com too!. Went down the hill, crossed the tracks by the bus stop like rr station and drove down to the beach by the Vermont ferry landing, which opens May 30. Camped out at end of the lot by some trees near the water. Woke up next to this seaplane, cool. yellow seaplane in Port KentDidn't even pitch the tent, it didn't rain till noon. Ausable Chasm was intense with all the rains.

then I went up the hill to Wickham Marsh State Wildlife Management Area, on NY 373, for some turkey hunting. Had the whole place to myself. Like I said b4, it rained at noon, which is the end of the Spring turkey hunting day, 1/2 b4 sunrise - 12 PM. Drove into Ausable Forks, tried to get some business. Thank god they fixed NY 86 through High Falls Gorge, even did some fly fishing on the Ausable in the special no kill zone. I was wearing standard webmaster garb while these fishermen dressed like commandoes on a mission in the Amazon or soemthing.
