I used this canoe to paddle the Raquette River in the Adirondacks with my wife. We started on Blue Mountain Lake and ended 6 days and 80 miles later in Tupper Lake. We had 5 carries that totaled about 7 miles in length. It was the trip of a lifetime and that old canoe as heavy and slow it is got us all the way through. That was 15 years ago and it is proudly still with us. I keep saying I am going to get a Kevlar canoe and my wife wants a kayak but this canoe will never leave my possession just due to the memories.
