Pawcatuck River Overnight - Saturday, June 3rd at 2:00

Posted by Erik on 5/30/2023, 7:38 am

Anyone else interested in this weekend's trip. So far we have 10, but Burlingame is a big place so there is room for more.

We will launch at 2:00 p.m. from Bradford Landing and paddle up to the Burlingame Canoe Campsites for the evening. We will do group meals for supper and breakfast so you won't have to worry about bringing food or cooking gear. You will need a tent, sleeping bag, mess kit (plate, cup and silverware), a folding chair (for sitting around the campfire), and your usual paddling gear. A dry bag for your cloths and sleeping bag is recommended. We will have a couple of canoes to bring some extra gear. These are primitive campsites, so outdoor facilities will not be available.

RSVP required, so please contact me at eckilson@cox.net if you are interested or need more information.

Good time had by all, and no rain

It rained as I drove to the put-in, and it rained as I drove home, but in between we had a great time camping at the Burlingame Canoe Campsites. It was fun to watch Dan cook breakfast on the fire in his 20” Maine-guide skillet - even better to eat. Good time had by all – few pictures here:

This was an incredibly fun trip - great people, great food, a perfect night of conversation around the fire, not a single bug to be seen. I came back with a full belly, a lot of advice on places and boats to paddle, a whole bunch of new camping tricks to master, and a group of new friends.

Thanks, Erik, for organizing and getting us out there!
