Between having to use a rental car (because of Ouch!) that I couldn’t pull a trailer with and a bout of the slight fever/feeling blah crap, I hadn’t been out in the canoe for nearly two weeks. Put an end to that today with a very nice paddle down the ‘Blue Trail’ on Millers River between Athol and Orange in Massachusetts. With good company, a nice current, perfect weather and a river-accessible ice cream stand I had all I needed for a great afternoon. Filled up the gas tank there too, of course.
