If you make it into Long Pond go further to Pink and Little Pink. Both known for the carnivorous plants. The carry over the RR tracks is often done by lining boats through the culvert with a person stationed at the other end of the culvert to receive the boat. (not recommended for fragile...

I'll give another vote for site 18. If the weather is questionable or you want to get back to the put-in fairly quickly a reasonably flat and protected site is #10 which offers a number of spots to put a tent or hammock and is only about a 15 minute paddle to the upper dam. It's on the bog...

Thanks Glenn, check is in the mail. Ray

Living near a lake and new homes being built nearby my first boating experience was with boats (rafts) we made out of "borrowed" wood. Probably around 7 or 8 years old - no helicopter parents back then so we took them out on the middle of the lake and sank them pulled them to land and proceeded...

I don't want to be picky but think the use of a sticky is icky.

Nice trip report. The NFCT interns and volunteers did a number of work trips on the Moose River-bow loop and it sounds like they've done a good job.

Yellowcanoe. I was thinking about the Moose River Bow loop. Since it starts and ends in the same location, but you are more familiar with Maine so might know other alternatives to offer him. https://www.jackmanmaine.org/maine-canoe-trips.php

While St. Regis Canoe Outfitters in Saranac and Raquette River Outfitters in Tupper Lake are both good choices they are not really located in what I'd consider wilderness areas. I'd suggest contacting the NFCT directly and if possible speaking to Stewardship Director Noah Pollock at...

Doug, Thank you for the great job you've done. Four years is a long time to herd feral cats (I mean paddlers) but you somehow managed to keep us focused on paddling.

The Covid 19 virus has claimed another victim. This years 90 mile canoe race has been canceled.

The "Axton Landing" trilogy by Tony Holtzman --- fiction novels based on the history of the Adirondack park, lumber jacking and Saranac as a center for treatment of TB.

I bought a used Pack a couple of years ago to use primarily on river clean-ups. It's slow and chunky but I find it pretty good for the way I use it. Weight wise it's not bad only complaint I have is the width and having to move the kayak (forgive me lord for saying that word) and canoe...

Bread balls on the end of a barbless hook My daughter 20+ years later still talks about all the blue gills (sunnys) we caught and released at the local pond. Most fun fishing I ever had.

Keeping social distancing

If I did the math correctly according to "Maine Hometown Locator" there is one (1) round bog, two (2) round lakes, two (2) Round Mt. Ponds and forty (40) Round Ponds. So if I'm correct here is the next trivia question, another fairly easy one. Name to two (2) canoe carries between Axton...

I guess I need to modify the rules -- so someone like me, who has killed a large number of brain cells over the years, has a chance of answering the challenge. So I'll start again with another simple question. "Who was George Washington Sears and what was the name of his canoe?"

The trippers are waiting for the Hoosier state to post the next challenge.

Since the "laughter is the best medicine" topic seems to have run its course it seems like the time to start a new diversion. So here goes the tripping trivia challenge. Simple rules the trivia must be canoe or tripping related and in order to post a trivia question you must honestly answer...

It's kind of like the glass is half empty or half full. Me I wonder why the heck do I have the wrong size glass.
