I recently became aware that many kayak manufacturers recommend transport with the curved side of the hull bearing the weight rather than the portion that touches the water if that makes a difference.

Im living in the area temporarily near the lake. The Independence Inn has some great local ipa's, including a cherrywood smoked brew. If the lot is full, there are backup options for a couple of paddlers and a way to get 4 boats to the lake at once.

I remember getting my first set of Kneissl Cross Country Skis in Hartford Connecticut in the late 70's. I think they took their first hit from the Internet--I grew tired of being pushed to boots or sizes in stock rather than something that had to be ordered. Then their lifetime warranty...

Turn Around Due to Leaves I tried to go up to the South Taconic Range from the New York Side, but way south of the trail to Alander Cabin, more the latitude of Mt Frissell. Think of going up Owlhead on ice in sneakers--- had to turn around
