There is beautiful, clear, (cold!) water all over this island.

Here'a a photo of Papa at Blue Lake. I guess some crazy things wash out of the steep surrounding mountains and end up on the beach.

It was a bit of a climb to get to Beaver Lake, but it was one of our favorite spots. I think Mama and Papa are suckers for places that remind them of the Saranac Lakes and for alpine lakes in general.

We loved our hike along the Indian River -- I had so much fun chasing Steve that I walked (or ran) most of the way back on my own, which made Papa happy, since he didn't have to carry me.
