Thanks for sharing your tour with us all. If I may ask, how are you getting around out there? Not walking I hope...

Wow, that looks like it was a lot of work to put together. Thanks so much for taking the time, I really enjoyed the pics!

Rattlesnake Gal · 04-14-2005, 10:56 AM

Wow IG! You never disappoint and the movies are a great touch. (Is this your new camera?)
Almost felt like I was there. It was so nice to hear the sounds of the island again. (Sigh.) Can’t wait to be back.
Thanks for making my day!

That was great IG.... thanks for the views!!! How did you get there.... and boy oh boy are you brave! There's no one out there to save you if something goes bad.

However, I really am glad that there are brave people like you. They were great pics.

Yes, I bought the movie camera just before Christmas. I am still learning to use it. I will try for more movies tomorrow. With the ice breaking up in places, it should be a different scene.

I may not be able to upload movies until I am back on a high speed connection, however.

... and the mode of travel? not a hovercraft....listen to the movie... think Florida!

I got it! An airboat, like in the Everglades.
I am in Florida and leave for the Lake next week via the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina..

My transportation is through the kindness of good friends.

gtxrider · 04-16-2005, 12:43 PM

Did you see any GATORS?

Great shots of the lake in spring.
New Hampshire is a bit behind us down here in New Joyzee, I think I will have to mow the lawn this afternoon after work.

It seems I just got the snow blower out of the shed for the winter and now the folks will be heading back to the lake in about a month.

Time just seems to fly by.

Island Girl · 04-16-2005, 12:49 PM

They are lurking out there... can't you see them on Snake Eyes! It is truly a joy to be here. Watching the lake melt is pretty neat.

Thanks for the compliments, all!

Can you hear the ice melting? I remember every year we would listen to the ice in Wolfeboro Bay as it melted into the water.
Now I listen to the alligators.

lakegirl · 04-14-2005, 02:36 PM

What a great tour!!!!I'm hoping to get up this weekend and get ready for the summer!!! I love the movie feature on my camera. Hopefully you will enjoy yours just as much!!!

warren · 04-14-2005, 04:48 PM

thanks so much for the tour, warren

Lin · 04-14-2005, 04:58 PM

Awesome tour IG. Thanks so much for sharing!

Island Girl · 04-14-2005, 06:14 PM

Lakegirl... I have a still camera that takes movies (the deer) and a movie camera that takes stills (the other movies) They both do their first job very well and their second job, fair.

It would really be nice to have one camera that did both very well. I have too much stuff to carry!

See you on the lake!
