HARVEYS LAKE -- The start of summer is still about a month away, but for some boaters in Luzerne County, the season starts early.

"I’m so excited! It's finally sunny out. The water looks great,” said Melissa Lindsey of Scranton, who went boating at Harveys Lake. “Just being together with people I love-- friends and family on Memorial Day-- it's really nice to have a day off together and be out in the sunshine.”

She came to the Harveys Lake boat launch from Scranton, about a 30-mile drive. But the warm weather attracted folks from all over.

"We’re just excited to come out of the city and be outside and not smell Philadelphia, that's nice,” said Julia Stamatakis of Philadelphia.

Terry Schultz of Taylor came to Harveys Lake with her brother and some friends. She comes here for some rest and relaxation.

"It’s nice out here, really is. We were out here for Mother's Day and now we're back again,” Shultz said.

For some folks, the day was all about getting out of their normal routine and enjoying the fresh air and sunshine.
