Mongaup Pond for Memorial Day weekend

As we have in the past, we went to Mongaup pond for a 3-day weekend.  This time, we were able to get a site right on the water.

We had some great fishing.  I caught an 18.5” Chain Pickerel:

B caught a 19” Chain Pickerel with her Barbie fishing pole.  She was surprised!

We all went for a 3.5 bike ride:

I then went for a longer bike ride (my cycle computer ran out of batteries half way through):

On the ride, I came across a part of the trail that was supposed to have a little stream across it, but now is a pond thanks to a busy beaver:

We hiked down to Mongaup falls:
