Although I'll be leading this same trip next weekend, it has been years since I have been on it, and I will be looking to use this Saturday as an opportunity to scout out the route. It would be great to have someone (or even a few someones) join me so we can shuttle a vehicle or two to the take-out.
Put-In is on the south side of Putnam Pike (Rte 44) in Putnam, CT, at a picnic area just west of East Putnam Road. Coordinates:
N41 55 117 W071 49 845
9:00 meet time for a 9:30 launch. This is a quick scouting trip, so expect a somewhat brisker pace than normal. Bring water and emergency rations, but I am not planning on any long breaks. Plan on the possibility of sawing through obstacles or scouting portages if necessary. In other words, more fun and adventure than usual too!
Please reply here, or e-mail me at chorbert13@gmail.com if you can join me. Thanks!
