Paddling ~ Bog River / Low's Lake Primitive Area - in the Adirondack Park • click to embiggenYou may have noticed that I haven't been around for the past few days. The wife, grandson Hugo, and I have been paddling about the wilderness for 4 days.
The trip was an oh-boy-my-heart-is-working / birthday (mine) cruise.
It was also Hugo's first self-propelled wilderness canoe trip. A few weeks ago, Hugo had quite decidedly declared that he wanted to paddle his own canoe on our upcoming trip. So, a new 28oz. carbon-fiber double blade paddle purchase later, off he paddled in our 12ft. / 20lb. canoe. And, just to prove that he wasn't just 5-year-old paddling-poser, he insisted on loading it up with all his gear - clothes, a few toys, sleeping bag, camp chair, a tarp, fishing pole and tackle box.
I am very happy to report that a good time was had by all.
