Day 1 – Wheels Up!
Posted On June 12, 2019
Day 1, Mile 373, Miles Today 37, Miles To Date 37
Canada border to Canaan, VT
Great 1st day, sun shining, temp 65, all good! Lee, Tucker and I hiked to the 4th CT Lake, the Source of the CT river next to the Canadian border. The hike was rocky and steep, Lee quite a trooper to take this on with a sore leg. The CT river not navigable in this area except in the CT lakes. Put the kayak in the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st CT lakes for a good day of paddling – road portage in between. Miles today included hiking, paddling and road portage (yellow blazing in trail talk). Will stay in a cabin tonight (pretty cushy), and start the river adventure tomorrow in Canaan, VT, just below the dam. Weather looking to be rainy tomorrow, oh well.
