ADKs tend to be rougher, steeper, and -- esp. since the big surge in recent years, often in poorer condition. Just as scenic as others, but in different ways. Lots of steep bare rock, on trails &...

I had a similar, though less dangerous, event on the Moose River in northern Maine, several years ago. It was a warm, sunny, still day; no wind to speak of. The river in that stretch had high...

Without constant control, someone likely WILL have acres of it on their property. I have some of them. They seed prolifically, and also send up suckers all over. For a gardener this is a problem....

They breed in fast-moving water but they travel loooong distances in their quest for blood (horizontal and vertical distances).

If you plan on going from Rock Pond to Lila in one day, be sure to start early. It's a long stretch, and esp. in the afternoon the endless meanders of Shingle Shanty Brook will drive you crazy. ...

Ditto what was said earlier about water levels. The last time I tried to do this, the Bog River was very high & I was too nervous (solo, and the water cold) to do the stretch from the dams down to...

The issue of clearings affects not only trees but also some other species. Some birds, for instance, require large tracts of undisturbed forests. Clearings allow "edge species" to establish and...

Beavers aren't always an obstacle to stream travel. If the water is low & you're struggling to keep going, in or out of the boat, and you see a nice substantial dam up ahead, it's a beautiful sight.

I'd be interested to know if you find out. The photos sure don't look 100 yrs old to me, but then I'm used to central & southern New England.

Yes, if anyone hears that the company is being continued, please post it. Not only were the items tasty, but I loved the single-serving option.

:Yes, I meant that I was paddling out of the SRCA and going home on the 10th. But that took me from my campsite on Slang out to Hoel, so we wouldn't have crossed paths. The day before, I was...

Thanks for the photos -- I love that area! I paddled out from a few days there, on the day you started. I was going the other way, a Little Clear to Hoel loop.

Neat!
I did smile at the stretch with 6 dams. It seemed to be just a bit above High Falls. If they'd gone further there would've been a lot more than 6!
