Canoe Trip

We are starting the planning for our 3 day canoe trip next week in the St. Regis Canoe Area, a chain of pristine lakes with no development or motor boats and very few people. Here is our packing spreadsheet work in progress. I am noodling with the menu so we won't be carrying everything listed there. We have amazing memories from our trip a few years back where we had a site on our own island in the middle of a lake with our own beach. Under our tents were a foot deep bed of soft pine needles which both smelled terrific and provided a most comfortable mattress. Canoe camping is my preferred vehicle as you can be way off the beaten path but don't have to carry everything in. We also love the small creeks and inlets between the lakes where you can almost imagine you are touring the Amazon circa 1910.
