I'm planning a trip starting Weds., Aug 11th from Lobster Stream (1st night in Lobster Lake) and ending I think at the Allagash Gateway Campground. There will be 5 of us and three canoes (Souris River Prospector 17', Old Town Penobscot 16' and a Bell Morning Star 15'6") so one guys has to solo. The questions I know I should ask are:
Should we worry about the wind on Chesuncook, which way is the prevailing wind? If we get early starts on that lake is wind less likely? My experience with wind is about 100% of our trips, but I have read comments of waves as high 3' - I've never paddles with those kind of waves.
We are going to use the Penobscot as the solo - is that a good choice?
If Chesuncook is not a good choice is there an extension to the trip where I can get a shuttle for our vehicles?
Are there any recommended shuttle services?
I appreciate any input and if there are questions I should have asked please let me know - thank you.
