Housatonic paddle




We don't just build boats; sometimes we get a chance to get out and paddle. This is the boat launch on Rannapo Road in Ashley Falls, MA. On Easter morning, the water was very high and a big trout was hanging out in the shallows. I paddled downriver to the end of the Konkapot River, and up it as far as I could before getting stopped by strainers.





This poor canoe seems to be buried in the silt on the Konkapot, or this may simply be its broken-off bow.
