Hopefully you keep it out there. Still shorts and t-shirt weather in western Maine.

This afternoon pond paddle with my partner Burnum.

I used u-bolts like you would use use on cable, to attach the driveway markers.

I use the orange fiberglass driveway markers on my wood splitter. I placed them so you can see them in the side mirrors without them you can’t see anything until it Jack knife’!

Yes, I already made up my mind that I’d use the ranger trail to put in not the carry trail!

I was trying to get a shot of the tree in the middle. In person it looked like a moose head.

Thanks for sharing. Beautiful canoe.

Need to check out his books. I think he has 3 out.

Thanks. I’ll defiantly will be returning to that area. Funny I never saw a moose the whole time I was there.

Didn’t try making it up to Poland Pond. The climb was steep, but if you take your time well worth the effort.

The best weather I’ve ever had on trip. 6 Days 5 nights, Beautiful sunny days, moonlit nights and no rain. I left on Tuesday September 6th for Caucomgomoc Lake looking to access the Rowe Throughfare site, last name thing. All the sites at Caucomgomoc Landing and the Dam were taken and I couldn’t...

Robin…Great photo’s , and a beautiful area. It was perfect weather! I was north of you a bit on Round (trip report to come) for 5 nights. Lucky you came in through Greenville, I came that way and went out through Millinocket. The Golden from Telos out would destroy your trailer and your...

Great pictures. Beautiful wood canoes! Given the rain up there the water levels must be good.

FYI not sure which way you’ll travel. Route 6/15 between Jackman and Rockwood is closed due to heavy rain washing out a section of road causing a 143 mile detour.

Thought I’d make it but jobs are getting in the way. Hopefully I‘ll get sometime to get in a North Maine Woods trip in September. Have a great trip!

I’ll leave them for the time being. Sanded in place and linseed oiled them. At some point they’ll get replaced! Thanks for the thoughts, comments and info.

The thwarts are solid no rot.

Googled the # on the plate it’s a Simpson strong tie plate that someone had to have had bent to go around the thwart.

They certainly looked like a factory installed plate. I did reach out to Old Town and they said they never used plates on the thwarts.

I picked up a used Old Town Discovery 164 it has these support plates on the ends of the thwart and carry yoke. I’ve never seen them on an Old Town canoe any else? They look like they were factory installed. thanks ruttrowe
