Lake Lila, boats in waiting
Gassabias Portage, west end. (Exploratory day trip, no crossing.) Trail was overgrown, but at least there were lots of blueberries.

Okay, it's a photo of my artwork, but it's canoe artwork. Title - "Trade Route" 38x55 inches, hand-sewn beadwork. Self portrait on the Yakima River in 2010, just above the Yakima Canyon. Instead of beading the water surface, I beaded text, maps and charts from reports about the river (yes, the text is beadwork...really small beads). It took me two years to complete. The Yakima was river #1 for the Reclamation Bureau and a century of heavy irrigation draws has reduced the salmon returns from something close to a million fish/year to 25,000 fish/year - that's where the title came from (the Yakima was not a real trade route). It was a pretty cool trip...no one paddles it, not much info on what was ahead, and you pass from forested foothills to desert canyon, cut bank flood plains, scrubland, ice age scablands, and finish at the Columbia River.

I'm in the next town north, New Milford. I'll try to take a look next month. Very creative.
Day 1, allagash river trip 2022, Umsaskis lake
Is this the canoe you pinned on the Allagash?
Yes, after putting a bunch of duct tape on the inside of the hull. I wincedover every shallow but the water was higher than the last couple of years.

Beautiful morning, fishing was incredible last night, good times!
That‘s an impressive piece of art and shows dedication to the media—there have to be easier ways to create images.
I like your stern paddle
