" Re Dimensional Weight: It would seem that wrapping a paddle in bubble wrap and then stapling together two flat pieces of cardboard would minimize the cubic inches more than fabricating an actual box." That's the way to do it. Haven’t shipped or received any paddles, but received and shipped a...

I was about to suggest checking regs as well. Also, I highly Raquette River Outfitters for info (and rentals, etc. if needed). They’re in Tupper Lake along the Racquette River Route, and closer to the Whitney area. I find last week of Sept. or 1st week of October prime time for foliage. Weather...

I’ve been having a sense of this lately, and this evening’s paddle accentuated it.

It’s pretty thick here in Northern VT (and the Adirondacks); some air quaity alerts have been issued.

I hear good things about Chittenden Res, I hope to get down there this season.

Somerset Reservoir’s quite nice, too bad there’s no camping (on the reservoir). How’s Whitingham?

Green River Reservoir. It’s about a 40 minute drive, but I’m usually there a few days a week most of the season. State park, no motor traffic, lots of wildlife. lots of interesting features.

Kind of mixed feelings on hearing this. I had actually hoped to get out there while the road was closed, and not nearly as busy: “That parking lot has continually been the busiest parking lot in the Adirondacks for canoeing,Frenette said. “They have 40 to 70 cars there in the peak season just...

Thanks for that Erica; it never dawned on me that bamboo needed curing. Not much bamboo up here, though they were widely used for ski poles in yesteryears.

I'd simply move back over to the northern Adirondacks.

Looks like a great system, and it is an expense for a basic pack frame with added supports. If the frame and suspension are exceptionally comfortable, and of good build quality, it's an interesting consideration.

Thank you for that link, I'll see what info they can offer. I'm aware of the base in Vermont, it's 60 miles south of me, and I know there are a couple of other bases (NY, Canada) that fly there. I'm still wondering whether anyone here, has been there, this season, and what they encountered for...

I was out on Little Tupper for a few days last fall, and found that there was significant Air Force activity every morning (and one or two nights). F35's by the sound of them, and not just a couple or a few... frequent passings, for an hour or two. I lived in the northern Adk's for couple of...
