Pontoon Adventure!!
Despite the overcast skies, we set off on a wonderful ride on the water, which was very relaxing!
We spotted an eagle's nest in the trees and saw many fish jumping in the water. The residents reminisced about their fishing experiences in younger years.
The calm waters, resembling glass, made for a relaxing scenic trip.
We appreciate Captain Randy, a skilled N.A.S.A. volunteer, for making our experience great!!
