Jackman, ME to Northeast Carry, Moosehead Lake Boy! Another canoeing year in the books. I had more ambitions this summer but with weddings and bachelor parties, amongst other things there’s only so much time. In any case, I did this last trip of the season before things get colder than I want to cope with.Continue reading “Chapter 20”

Highgate Dam to East Highgate .. and back to Swanton The night was shorter than I expected it to be. I lulled asleep when the rain stopped but it started in the middle of the night. With as much rain as there was I was worried it would run along the ground but this didn’tContinue reading “Chapter 19”

Lakewood Campground to Highgate Dam Today I decided to sleep in until 5:30, and had a leisurely breakfast with some tea inside the shelter. I’m realizing I underestimate how long it takes me to pack up and such, as it wasn’t until after 7 that I was in the water. I’m glad I crossed lastContinue reading “Chapter 18”

Plattsburgh to Lakewood Campground What a long day! Was it the burger, the shower, or girl at front desk? I don’t know but I felt like a million bucks last night.

Baker’s Acres to Plattsburgh I was slow going this morning, despite nearly being 90 yesterday (which surprisingly didn’t slow me done much), I began to get a little chilly in my bag come dawn, and I slept in until almost 6 despite.

Stony Batter to Lower Dallas Bridge Surprise! Some bonus miles! It was a long rainy rainy night in the tent but I stayed dry. When planning this trip according to the book, my mileage today should have been 15 miles or so. But assessing the distance by GPS several times it appeared not be betweenContinue reading “Chapter 14”

Lower Richardson to Stony Batter, Mooselookmeguntic Lake I made it through the night without rain, but it was chilly! I think it got down into the thirties. Did I sleep? Nah. I woke up to a foggy and cold world with a couple loons near to shore. I had intended to wake up at 5Continue reading “Chapter 13”

Errol, NH to Lower Richardson Lake, ME Note these posts were published 2 days after the events took place. Woah! It’s been awhile since an update from me. After a hurricane and a bout of food poisoning, the trip planned with my friend fell through. And somehow here we are nearly in October! So I’mContinue reading “Chapter 12”

Frizzell Campsite to Gord’s Corner Store Be careful what you wish for… With the forecast predicting rain late at night and into much of the following day, Tom and I used what energy we had to have our things packed and breakfast ready to be cooked. Once done, we were tent-bound before 7 pm. IContinue reading “Chapter 11”
