Monday 6/23
Traveled 19 miles today on the Missisquoi River. Portaged around dam in Swanton. First half of day spent much of it lining up rapids. Hot sunny day. Stopped in Sheldon Junction and spotted an ice cream stand. Had to stop to fill water bottles as Missisquoi water not reccomended for drinking. And had an ice cream. Leaving Shedlon Jct. there were long sets of rapids and no good portage trail. But there was good access there to the Missisquoi Rail Trail. Jumped on that and wheeled about 8 miles to Enosburg. Chris getting sore feet and blisters. Got to Lawyers Landing 8:00 PM. Went to Hannaford to restock lunch supplies. Tent set up 8:30 PM. The campsite is an access area right next to the road. No hot meal, just bread, cheeese, pepperoni than to bed. Hard day.
