Just as head's up
The GF and I were out in Mallett's Bay Friday afternoon. After going through the Cut, we noticed several tree limbs and assorted debris in the water. I grabbed one and moved it to shore. It was about 10 feet long, six inches in diameter. Another was way too big to move, so I tried a little wake action to move it.
With the water still high and the river's flowing, lots of things in the lake now that can lead to a very expensive boating venture.

There's the restaurant at the south end of Treadwell, at the Champlain Marina that has good grub (we ate there just last weekend....good ribs) and free dockage for dinners. You can check with them to confirm a place to crash. If not, had back down to Plattsburgh, to the Boat Basin (The Turtle) and the dockage at Clare & Carls rest (just opposite of the boat basin's gas docks). Plenty of room, free and we've over-nighted there several times this year. You can either grab breakfast at Clare & Carls or walk up the street a bit to the Corner Rest for a better breakfast (opens at 6am). There's even a place to walk your hound!!!

we pulled in over on the other side of the 30' Cruisers boat...probably around 4:30 or so...i used to ride bikes with Dave that owns the outlaw and my buddy dates the daughter of the guy with the 30' Cruisers.

its cool next time we'll get over there a little earlier and hang out. When we first got there we went over to the left side of the beach near the big rocks cause i didnt really recognize any boats. Then when my buddy called we headed over your way.
