The NFCT Part 1 and 2

Finally getting back to some posts that I promised over a year ago. NFCT stands for the Northern Forest Canoe Trail. This is a series of water passages, both flat water and rivers, that streches approximately 740 miles from Old Forge at the base of the Adirondack through northern VT and NH then up through ME on the Allegash to Fort Kent. This is a trail that I hope to accomplish in my life-time, and so far has become a yearly trip for myself, my dad, and my brothers.

Part 1 - Starting in Old Forge, we started out on the conservative side. There were a number of portages and we weren't sure how well our design for Kayak Carts would work. This the route that we took from Old Forge to Raquette Lake, somewhere around 25 mi in three days.

Part 2 - Starting where we left off at Raquette Lake we continued another 25 mi up to Long Lake and finished section 1 of the trail. This is the route, for some reason I couldn't get Google Maps to cooperate so just imagine that we started on the south side of Raquette Lake and paddled up to placemark A then on to B. Part 2
