18th State–Vermont (Oct. 19, 2010)

After a wonderful time in Maine, I decided to return to Vermont and find a place to paddle.  I’ll have to fill you in on the name of the place when I find my notes. Update: 2/27/16 - it was Harriman Reservoir, a dammed lake formed on the Deerfield River.  Went through Medburyville on Woods Road.  That's off Rt. 9 (Molly Stark Trail) and west of US 91.  It was a small lake, and no one was there but me.  Serene.  But getting wintery.  There was signs that someone had made a camp along the shore.

16th State Paddle–New Hampshire (Oct. 6, 2010)

I had intended to meet up with another Vandweller in Vermont and kayak at a lake near her, but after driving out of my way to her place, I found she was sick and I had to high tail it back to civilization before dark as there was no LEVEL spot to park my rig in her vicinity.  I made it back to Wal-Mart just before dark.  I decided to push on the next day to New Hampshire and kayak there and do Vermont at some later date.

Oh my gosh, was I ever enjoying the old landscape, stone walls, old cemeteries, old building, bridges, etc.  Amazing. Everyone should see New England at least once in a life time and in the Fall of the year at that.  I’ll have to add the text later when I find my notes.  I did see a beaver lodge on my NH kayak paddle… but don’t even remember now (July 2011) where I paddled in NH.

In 2006, I was shopping for a wheelchair. By 2007, I had new knees, better health and by 2008 a kayak. In Aug 2013, I kayaked my 49th state, Alaska, at the Holgate Glacier and in May 2014, I kayaked Hawaii, my 50th state, to celebrate my 70th Birthday and the finale to the wonderful adventure of Kayaking America. Next up... Re-kayaking southwestern states.
