The Saranac River is really, really high right now--as are all rivers in the North Country, pretty much. Here's a view I see on my way to work, near Redford. I like the way the trees on the island are emerging from the fog. There's a point on Silver Lake that's called Steamboat Point. It has trees that look like this--supposedly the point was named after the way the trees look like steamboat smoke stacks. If you want to believe Hawkeye lore. I think it's funny that both my family and the rest of the lake call the point the same thing. Some other things have different names, depending on whose lore you want to believe, or what tradition you want to follow.
