| Kayaking 1:00:00 [1] | |
| Put in at the new boat launch, then up river to the Seymour's site against a pretty strong current.
Turned around and came back down a lot faster than I went up. Continued down onto Winnisquam, headed north to the 2 small islands, then back. AOWN- spooked up a heron a couple of times in the island in the middle of the river. Second time it took off it circled for just a bit then perched up in a tree - didn't think herons did trees - just land and water. | ||

| On Opeche just before dusk.
Pretty calm, a few big birds floating around. Still a lot of water coming through from Paugus Bay - lots of turmoil just below the dam. | ||

| ahr:154 max:168 shoes: Asics Orange Trail 08 | ||
| Up and over Cobble Mtn, then checked out the south trails. Some logging or trail widening underway along 9 - not too sure why as it wasn't too bad. Am wondering if they are going to mess with the tight S curve, or add some more trails in this area. Hadn't heard about any of this, but that's not surprising. No work yet on continuing the new trail on the N side of Cobble or the 2 new connectors along the W slope.
Cold front came through today and dried stuff out. Was cool and crisp - almost felt fall like. | ||
Sunday Aug 17 | ||
| Canoeing 3:05:00 | |
| Canoeing on the Merrymeeting River in Alton. Put in at Rt 11 landing, then worked my way downstream to the Rt 28 bridge. Sporadic headwind, which caused some problems. No keel on the canoe and paddling solo it can be tough to keep going the way you want. Ended up having to tack back and forth on a few sections to make any forward (downstream) progress.
Went past where the tornado came through a few weeks ago - pretty significant, but isolated damage. Quite a few trees torn up by the roots, with some next to them snapped off partway up, and other completely untouched. About a dozen others out there on the water, mostly kayakers. AOWN - numerous turtles out sunning themselves, lots of Canada geese by the Rt 28 bridge, along with a few ducks. Saw a dragonfly dipping down onto the water several times, to snag a snack I assume. | ||

| ahr:150 max:163 shoes: Asics Orange Trail 08 | ||
| At Ahern - trail run.
New shoes. Lots of mud - main road down to the beach washed out. | ||
