Finishing New Hampshire Finally! I’ve been saying since 2021 that I was going to finish NH, and each year something came up that prevented me from doing so. But I’m happy to say it’s done, I wrapped up New Hampshire! Just Maine left and only 143.5 miles at that. I’m going to keep this shortContinue reading “Chapter 30”

South Branch of the Dead River (Dallas Bridge to Flagstaff Lake) The start to the 2025 season! I’m going to keep this short as it was a quick trip; unfortunately no pictures or GPS data for this trip! I arranged a shuttle with Rangeley Adventure Company (f.k.a. Ecopelagicon) so I could leave my car atContinue reading “Chapter 29”

Driving and Finishing Vermont I debated writing about this bit but it does give some context for the meat and potatoes of this chapter. In my last post, I mentioned how I was picked up before truly finishing the last four miles of walking to Bloomfield. I planned on finishing this and the West MilanContinue reading “Chapter 28”

Island Pond to Bloomfield This post covers two days. And sorry it has taken a week to get this update out West Charleston to Island Pond I spent the night at the corner store next to an abandoned house, and heard more thumps and rustlings than I like to hear from an abandoned house. TheContinue reading “Chapter 27”

Richford to West Charleston This post covers 3 days Richford, VT to Masonville, QC I intended to start a little earlier this morning which I did but not by much.

East Highgate, VT to Richford This post covers three days. And I apologize if I’m short but I’m tired and writing these up hunched in my bivy sack screws up my already sore shoulders and neck. East Highgate to Sheldon Springs I’ll preface this trip by saying I’m hoping to make up for not muchContinue reading “Chapter 25”

Mud Pond to Chamberlain Bridge I made it another night without being trampled by moose, thankfully. It was a restless night however as I was too sore to get comfortable, and tossed most of the night. The morning was clear but chilly, and I really dreaded getting out of my sleeping bag into damp clothes,Continue reading “Chapter 24”

Thoreau Island to Mud Pond Or How to Zig Zag Across the North Woods I woke up startled to what sounded like someone shaking out a rug. I was later confirmed in my suspicion that an eagle was flying around campsite. Between that, the yellow-flicker, red squirrels, and brightening sky, I had to dare theContinue reading “Chapter 23”

The first two photos in this blog are courtesy of my cousin. Check out her photography on Instagram @sara.beth.photography First trip of 2024! I’m a little behind schedule to finish next year but hopefully I can make some solid ground this year. This first trip I conquered the infamous Mud Pond Carry which is aContinue reading “Chapter 22”

Eustis, ME to Spencer Stream Late start to the canoeing year! It’s was a busy May and June, and to be honest with all the rain in the Northeast I haven’t been too motivated to get out there. My coworker and friend Ryan had shown interest in joining me on a leg of my canoeingContinue reading “Chapter 21”
