Just saw a “camping” answer and reminded me of an incident years ago. I was canoeing/hiking/camping in the Adirondacks with my girlfriend of the time and her mother. We had set up camp on a small island while canoeing. Well, to make it easy, here:
Now, this is not a large island as you can see and there is a single campsite with a lean-to. I prefer to stay on islands because you’re relatively safe from bears out there.
That evening we were relaxing when a teenager came around the lake in a rather loud boat with a motor and decided to walk across the island, including walking right through our campsite without even looking at us. It was annoying to try to enjoy nature and have an inconsiderate lout making noise and getting in our space.
You may note that at the south end of the lake there is an “Eighth Lake Campground”, and he and his family were staying there as we would soon find out.
We were up early the next morning, at daybreak, and ate a quick breakfast, packed up, jumped in the canoe and started paddling down to the connector to 7th Lake. As we rounded the island there sat the exact same boat, only now it was the father doing some early morning fishing on the lake. I paddled over to about 20 feet from him, then began smacking my oar on the water like a mad man. Never looked at him or said anything. But I’m pretty sure by the time I finished there wasn’t a fish left on that side of the lake.
After that we paddled on, never looked back.
