<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">July 15, 16, 2022</span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In November of 2021, I made a day-trip circuit of the
Follensby Loop, in the St. Regis Canoe Area. I spent the night in Tupper Lake
and got an early start the following morning. This was my second annual trip to
the area, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. There is a video record of that trip
on YouTube:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><a href="https://youtu.be/7QZup_q2h8A"><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">https://youtu.be/7QZup_q2h8A</span></a><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This summer, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided to ‘up the ante’ a bit and go for a
longer loop with an overnight camp. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The pros of camping overnight, aside from the fun of the
camping itself, is the ability to cover more distance, and get to some more
remote waters. The cons are a heavier pack, with a tent, and additional food,
and sleeping gear. I also packed a small solar panel, so I could keep my phone
charged, and that served as my only camera.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt;">I left Salisbury at 6:00 AM on Friday and made it to Paul
Smith’s College by 10:30. Serendipitously, there was a canoe symposium going on
that weekend at the college, and though I admired some great classic boats as I
passed by, I did not linger. It took longer than I expected to park in a remote
lot and gear up, but I was on the move by 11:30. </span><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt;">I made quick progress through Lower St. Regis,
Lake, Spitfire Lake, and Upper St. Regis Lake before arriving at Bog Pond and a
series of short carries and small ponds.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-VpWTri9CPb1H639qIQ6svS8elN25D2dyG11OS5DbEPIWQ_26AXTyfR64-4axLpD5BmpFyQEE9wNWZ71oVIYXgijddUQJbsCw4ZPjpvg8gDxYt5_f1P0jQF1KPBTrJrMMNhBnrr_NWJrs8dNeZqdvRN7BndXuJnLjPWcasvPJCHs_rcQHcTmetLIW-A/s4032/IMG_6472.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-VpWTri9CPb1H639qIQ6svS8elN25D2dyG11OS5DbEPIWQ_26AXTyfR64-4axLpD5BmpFyQEE9wNWZ71oVIYXgijddUQJbsCw4ZPjpvg8gDxYt5_f1P0jQF1KPBTrJrMMNhBnrr_NWJrs8dNeZqdvRN7BndXuJnLjPWcasvPJCHs_rcQHcTmetLIW-A/w400-h300/IMG_6472.HEIC" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>At the south-east corner of St. Regis Pond, and the
portage to Little Clear Pond I ran into a group of campers portaging their
canoes and <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>gear the other way. It was
only a .6-mile carry, and flat, but I was happy that I could carry my pack and
boat simultaneously and not make multiple trips. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>As I left Little Clear I got my first hint of the
‘adventure’ I had set for myself. After toting my canoe across and up the
shoulder of Rte. 30, I had difficulty finding the trail to Hatchery Brook. I
was backtracking along the highway when a DEP ranger stopped his vehicle and
gave me directions. It turned out that all I needed to do was bushwhack
straight down the bank to the stream, which was a mercifully short distance,
and the last real portage of the day.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> The passage down Hatchery Brook was an adventure. While
the water was always just deep enough to float the boat, I had to negotiate one
beaver dam, one fallen log, a 2x8 bridge build by a landowner and two bridges. The
first of these was high enough by laying down in the canoe I was able to drag
myself under by gripping the bottom of the bridge. The second provided only
inches of clearance, so I had to drag the boat over. Finally, just before
reaching Upper Saranac Lake, the channel was blocked by the beginnings of a
beaver dam, but this I was able to ‘run’ without too much scraping.</span><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt;">The paddle south on Upper Saranac was over the widest
water I encountered on the trip. The long, open paddle passed without incident,
under blue-bird skies. A little less than halfway down Upper Saranac Lake is
Fish Creek Bay. The western end of the bay narrows to a channel connecting to
Fish Creek Ponds. From the north end of the pond, Spider Creek connects to
Follensby Clear Pond. Last November, this channel had been blocked by a beaver
dam, but the dam had been </span><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt;">breached in to
two piles, and the channel was clear to paddle through.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>At this point, I had been paddling for nearly eight<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>hours, so I was happy to pull up on the first
island with a campsite and settle in for the evening. I emptied the canoe and
got my tent set up, as well as my hammock with a view of the pond. Though I
didn’t strictly need a fire, I went ahead and got one going, if only for the
ambience. Dinner was freeze-dried stew on the Jet-Boil™.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt;">I’d been seeing recommendations for bear canisters in the
‘Dacks, and though I’ve never used one, except in Wyoming, I found a small one
online and took it along. On Saturday, I did have a conversation with a
paddling ranger, who told me that in that area, raccoons were more of a
nuisance. I had spotted a notice at the carry to Bear Pond warning of
‘aggressive raccoons’ in that area.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>At breakfast, I encountered a troop of aggressive ducks,
who seemed intent on sharing. They wandered around my campsite, checking
everything out, until I shooed them away. Packing up was quick and I was back
on the water by 7:30.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Spotted a mature
bald eagle in the trees as I headed north on Follensby, which I took as a good
omen.</span><i><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; mso-no-proof: yes;"> </span></i><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

familiar to me, as last year’s trip overlapped here. After a quick portage to
Polliwog Pond, the carry across Floodwood Road and past the Saranac Inn golf
course was just a warm-up for the longer carries to come. Rested and fresh, I
enjoyed the paddle across Hoel Pond to the old railroad embankment. The portage
goes over the path of the old train rails, but there is a big concrete culvert
underneath. The far end of the culvert is about a foot above the water level of
Turtle Pond. This time around, I scouted the culvert to make sure I could step
down easily on the other end and walked the canoe through without having to
unload. At the end of Turtle Pond was the carry that took the most out of me,
about a mile and a quarter and over a ridge to get to Clamshell Pond. Clamshell
is small, and I was soon out of the boat again, though the trail to Fish Pond
was flat and only a half mile long.</span><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: -.1in; margin-top: 0in; margin: 0in -0.1in 0in 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: -.1in; margin-top: 0in; margin: 0in -0.1in 0in 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt;">Fish Pond is a beautiful, remote spot. At its eastern end
I had a short carry to Mud Pond where I encountered, lounging at the portage
boardwalk, the largest snapping turtle I have ever seen. Standing on the narrow
planks, with my back to the water, I was happy that he/she went around me and
quickly into the Pond.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>From here, I started to see more people, a young couple,
the ranger I mentioned earlier, anglers on St. Regis Pond. At the east end of
St. Regis Pond, I was now retracing my route through the same series of short
carries and small ponds to the St. Regis Lakes and Spitfire Lake.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Not sure if this is related to the placement of the cross-bars on the floorboards, a miss-step getting in, or the size of the user - a number of the builders this year are big, athletic guys. Not a major deal; the floors are not part of the structure of the boat, and I know builders who don't use floorboards at all in this type of boat, but bears a little more research.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/h1LtTUgPDMw" width="320" youtube-src-id="h1LtTUgPDMw"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXL8VqpJI3lr8_mrPgLxjEsCjAjKR4gXjdll5ui2UuHw9sEuSOG9-vCkDn9JFdqGAZLA6P0vQYjv4MoagfZtX1R6hLmgEJORrQ37bnyE3MDq6xPHOMUFuLeKGIzkIEJW5M6yo-OzzzK63HhAbJDTKfui-ju-jxdqn6vf6iYbj0RVEcNuu68MI0IxS1RQ/s4032/IMG_6240.HEIC" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><br /></a></div>R.

More than half the inwales are installed, with the remainder to get done early next week.
