Thanks to a generous friend I took a pontoon boat ride with my son from Ames Farm to Sleeper Island to check out ours and our neighbors camps. It felt great to pull up to our dock, to be out there and to think of the summer to come. Winter 2012 is but a distant memory. Just a bit of ice on the beach at Ames Farm otherwise it was clear sailing to Sleeper.
Everything was wide open around Sleeper, Diamond, Rattlesnake, Cub and Treasure. The lake was absolutely flat. I saw one Personal Watercraft on the lake (brave soul) other than that it was a bit eerie but beautiful to be virtually alone out there.
It is bittersweet as my family loves to snowmobile too and we love the winter though it was a less than perfect one. But isn't that the magic of New Hampshire? I snowmobiled last Saturday with some friends and 3 days later I'm on the lake!! I feel so fortunate to live in a place where all 4 seasons burst on the scene so dramatically and mother nature always keeps us on our toes and interested.
