I grew up in a family that loves the outdoors (mainly backpacking) and I've been in canoes my whole life but I only got into longer distance paddling this spring when I bought an old Sawyer Summersong and fell in love. I spent half my weekends over the summer on various waterways in the Adirondacks and I just wrapped up the NH/VT part of the CRPT this fall - can't wait to get out in the spring to finish up the Source to Sea!
