Shoulder have healed. I am back in the wilderness again. Life is good... better than I ever imagined. Will try to catch up after a long absence.

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.

Next up... Re-kayaking southwestern states.
