'Special'... lol we are all special in our own special way.

Nice, I want to do a canncom New England grow nerd boat trip OH SO BAD. I have 2 canoes and a kayak and the big canoe is feeling as unloved as your duck since my ex moved out and I have no big, dumb men kicking around who are useful for 2 things, one of them being lifting the canoe onto the car, and the other... well, let's just say any moisture involved si not from the river, lol.

Have you run the West river? It takes a little coordination in the whitewater bits but it's a nice trip.

I can often be found where it dumps into the CT river taking advantage of the fiesty perch, and the proximity of a bar that has both outdoor seating, Harpoon on draught, and a smoked trout platter that is pretty killa.

Whereabouts in VT are ya? I hang out in 3 places: Bratt, Putney, and the Burke area.
