Day 1- arrival

I woke up this morning with such mixed emotions about returning to Raquette lake for the second time. My previous trip was taken in the winter of 2014, and let me tell you, it was bitter cold. I was really looking forward to exploring the Adirondacks in the summer; a season I enjoy much more than winter. However, when I came in the winter I came with a group of girls that I knew. This time, I was coming into the class blind, not knowing a single person- frankly, that scared me. However, when I arrived I met three girls sitting on the porch waiting to take the boat across the lake and they welcomed me into their group as if I belonged there. I am excited for the what the rest of the week will bring us. More to come on our week in the Adirondacks!
