Thursday June 19th
     Had breakfast at Mckenzies restuarant. 9:00 AM, Latest put-in so far in Lake Flower, through town to the dam. Portage around back on the river and stop at Saranac River Outfitters to pick up box of food we left for them. Only five days since departure, and a couple unplanned meals out. They now have too much food to carry! Pick up a dry-bag just for food and carry it outside packs. Outfitter was very helpful and good source of advice. Back onto the river heading out of town.    
      Saranac River was low but could be paddled. It's route went through Franklin Falls Pond and Union Falls Pond, for about 8 miles. Ran directly into a head wind and waves all the way. Very tough paddling. Beat by the time they reached camp site at Bear Point on Union Falls.
