While I didn’t actually lose it on the canoe trip, I had a micro SD card get damaged after I paddled (and painstakingly took the time to record video of) the Jordan River in the Raquette Boreal Forest on a solo trip this summer. The worst part is I was halfway through editing the footage when...

I worry most about what I might encounter on the Hudson from the confluence with the Cedar to the takeout before the Indian River. I think my mad River Explorer with airbags and a strong bow paddler might be up to the task, but those rapids in the Hudson look sizeable on satellite imagery.

Thanks for the additional info. I’m wondering if I could make a multi day trip out of it and take out on the Hudson. I need to get some info on the rapids I might encounter.

Awesome! I am going to have to check this out!

Great trip report! Thanks for sharing. Looking at your image of “Grass Pond”, I’m not sure you actually made it all the way back into the Pond. You should have seen a dramatic exposed rock face on the right after entering the pond. There is a great campsite with a beach and views of the that...

@Glenn MacGrady I found the full length video of the kayakers. They had some success before the guy that needed rescued. I think it starts around 2:38

This was an older couple fishing and enjoying their evening on the lake. Might be the former sheriff you mentioned and his significant other.

One thing I forgot to mention. When my group was camping in Grass Pond, an aluminum boat with an outboard motor entered the pond and motored around trolling for fish for a couple hours. I wasn’t aware motorized craft were allowed in this area. I assume the boat came from the one private camp on...

Some photos from last weekend’s trip to Lows Lake in the Adirondacks.

I spent the past weekend in Lows. We went in Friday morning 9/18. The parking lot was completely full when I arrived, and that worried me. There was a group putting in when we arrived. On the way into Hitchins Pond from the put in we passed probably a dozen day paddlers on their way out. That...

That’s not me, though I’d be happy to tag along haha.

I have seen folks with clamp on cup holders that clamp to the gunnels.

Caught in a downpour yesterday, Follensby Clear Pond, ADKs:

Glenn, I have used the REI Basecamp 6 tent for almost a decade. It’s my go to car camping or motorized boat camping tent. I have fit 3 large cots in it on fishing trips with my brothers or 5 sleeping pads and a dog on trips with my kids. I can easily stand up in the center of the tent (at...

Saturday, July 18th I was woken by a steady rain just after midnight, and I happily fell back asleep to natures’ music hitting my tent fly. I woke again around 5:00 and stayed in the tent until about 5:30 when the rain stopped. I exited the tent, ate a granola bar, quickly packed my gear while...
