Wild Center Trip

10/5/2012

We had a great trip with the Wild Center today. Thanks to all involved for making it a successful day. The weather cooperated, the conversation was stimulating, and the wild life was exhilarating.

Once Upon a Wilderness, by Calvin Rutstrum
Mornings can break so clear, calm, and insect-free that the first awakening call of a loon over placid water starts a day of serenity, a measure of comfort and pleasure that the most idealistically preconceived canoe journey could scarcely visualize. The leisurely paddle along a rock-bound, forested shore can, under these conditions, bring such inspiring surprises and memorable experiences as to leave them etched upon one’s memory for life.

Thanks to Julie, Barry, Linda, & Kendra for joining us on our trip to Cedarlands today. The weather didn't quite cooperate at the level we would have liked but it didn't keep us from having fun.

Cedarlands - What you can expect in September - by Jack Drury

We got a chance to scout out Cedarlands for our upcoming trip with the Wild Center. Although we've been to this area before we wanted to check out the conditions before we left for our three week trip to the Boundary Waters of Minnesota. (Doug has already left and I leave tomorrow.) As should be expected the water levels were very low but we managed to get to the carry to McRorie Lake without too much trouble.

This is a beautiful area and the fall colors should be gorgeous September 22nd. For information on how to register for the trip go HERE. For more photos see below.

Mark you calendar and register HERE.

In partnership with The Wild Center, the veteran guides from Broadwing Adventures will lead you on this one day paddling trip of discovery and exploration in a little known corner of the Adirondacks. On your guided exploration you will learn about the history, ecology and conservation of the Cedarlands. This paddle/hike is on lands that are part of the Cedarlands Boy Scout Camp, a property with restricted summer access. Most summer visitors to the Adirondacks do not have the opportunity to travel here. During this full day trip, you will enjoy at least 3 miles of paddling on Mud Pond and McRorie Lake, have some short canoe carries, and hike 0.8 mile up Mud Pond Mountain. The views from Mud Pond Mountain look to the northwest along the expanse of Long Lake and to the summits of the Western High Peaks, a view rarely seen by others.

The group will travel at a gentle pace that will accommodate everybody’s abilities. Weather permitting we will eat lunch at the overlook on Mud Pond Mountain while enjoying the panoramic views of the Adirondack Fall foliage. After the hike we will return to our boats and explore as much of McRorie Lake as time and conditions permits, with the possibility of 2-4 miles of additional paddling. This is a quiet, secluded area with wonderful opportunities for discovery.
