340-something miles...
Quick update as we just walked into Groveton to fill up our water bottles and discovered the library.
Linda is now with me and we have paddled down the Connecticut River (loved it!) and started up the Upper Ammosoosuc River. Camped at the NFCT Samuel Benton campsite last night. Very picturesque with some mosquitoes. Had to put on the bug spray for the first time in 10 days or so. We kept seeing bald eagles all along the Connecticut and passed an osprey platform with two juveniles and three or four adults. Felt like the adults were circling over us ready to dive bomb us.
Beckie--you'll be happy to know that Linda got to experience some tracking today.
A few showers yesterday, nothing major. Rained a lot during the night, but dry today. The kids will be happy to know that I lost my "gramma" sunglasses somewhere while we were doing some tracking.
More updates later.
