Hey Jim. It looks like the site that was hosting their trip report is no longer in existence. I used an internet archive tool to find it. The photos aren’t there anymore, but you can see what they wrote: https://web.archive.org/web/20210309162840/http://www.seakayak.ws/kayak/kayak.nsf/a631f4790e66c273852569f9006ec1b2/3e10fe30a47c4cba852570db0042bf9d!OpenDocument

Joel, great article and help. Im planning the trip next summer. I was trying to access the jay’s trip report but when I tried to go through the link at your site, it was reported that the site was corrupted. Do you have their direct link?

Also, was hoping to ask you some specific questions off site if you are ok with that.

Thanks,

Jim

In reply to william johnson.Hi William. The upper run will absolutely give you that. The river up there is completely different than what you've experienced Herdon-Millersburg! It's a lot smaller and we saw more wildlife up there - deer, bears, otters, foxes, etc. Let me know if I can help at all!

Your comments and experiences are appreciated. I am thinking of the Cooperstown to Sunbury stretch early this summer. As a 66 year old with shoulder issues the trip will be dependent on my practice runs. Used to do the Herndon to Millersburg run years ago. I like wildness and few people -will the upper run give me that?

In reply to Larry Berger.Thanks Larry! It was both a challenging an rewarding experience. Who knows, maybe I will try the Lehigh River someday, but I'm going to rest for a while now haha

While not a kayak person I thought the article was very interesting and inspiring. you all overcame certain adversities and accomplushed what you set out to do. Your story should be told to all students in schools demonstrating what can be done if one puts their mind to it. Well written and I wonder if you could be a write and not know it. Way to go from a retired high school chem teacher. How about the next river you try is the Lehigh river?
