Robbie and Anne at Raquette River Outfitters have a deep love and knowledge of the area, good peple in my experience.
Great people! So glad I could rent from them!
The most humble and knowledgeable people I've had the pleasure of meeting.
Crushed it. That upper Oswagatchie section is so pretty and remote. Nice trip!
It was beautiful out there. Thanks for watching, we got lucky with all the rain, high water is clutch on that section of water!
Loved the adventure. I travel from inlet to site 9 at the Robinsons River every fall but this year I missed my trip due to a major surgery. I am so happy you were able to bring me along! Looks like you had high water levels this year.
Thanks! We definitely had high water we missed a lot of beaver dams due to the heavy rain. We timed it pretty well!
Gorgeous! Wow! And so peaceful ❤❤❤ great video 😊
Thank you! 😊
Great trip, and nice footage. Enjoyed it!
Grace and Brian at Mac's Canoe Livery are good outfitters to deal with in the Lake Clear/Saranac Lakes area. Knowledgeable and helpful.
Loved the vid, the O traverse is on my to do list. The lightning shots from the tent were really neat.
Thanks Joe! The storms we pretty cool. Thankfully not a lot of wind!
@@DanielleRootes I despise wind no matter the season.....
Thanks for taking me along on this trip. Kudos to you guys for pushing through even though the weather wasn't very nice.
Canadians call the front guy a "dippah". And now you know why they call it the Adiraindacks. Camped in the same spot (your first camp site) on Lows, that was grassy pond Mountain... climbed that a long time ago. Lows is a cool spot in the early summer, the loons are everywhere and boisterous, Barred Owls calling in-between. View from the mountain is not spectacular, this side of the Adirondacks are kinda non vertical, but you can see forever. . We did had a pair of A-10's fly even with us while up their, back when they were still local and on their way to and from Fort Drum! LOL, .. . Nice trip!
Great video...thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video! It was so peaceful where you were. It was nice hearing some Raconteurs too!
I really enjoyed this vid Danielle. Even if Nugget was left behind this time :-)
Thanks! We were sad to leave her behind but glad we did with the weather!
@@DanielleRootes it was the right choice for sure. The trip is already complicated enough with all the gear and dealing with beaver dams.
Great adventure Danielle! I loved that paddle down from High Falls this year too. Especially with blue skies and bright sunshine. Glad you had high water like we did although we kissed a couple boulders on our way out. That Buck Brook Lean-to is fabulous to stay at either on the way in or out. Great hammock trees all around, especially in the back. I hope wolfie didn't sneak back home with 'ya! LOL!
Thank you!!
Nice video! I camped at the site where you put back in below High Falls this September when I hiked the CL50. Great campsite. Much more water flowing now.
Great spot. So secluded. Loved the the whole river. Definitely a bucket list item
Great video, y'all. Very nice pacing and flow to the shots. Love lows lake, haven't done the traverse over to the river yet, though. Looks wonderful!
Thank you! It was a great trip!
Definitely an immature Bald Eagle. It takes over 5 years for the head to get fully white. That one was probably 1.5ish years old (about the time they start to get the tinge of a lighter color in the head)...
I'm in. New sub!!
Welcome! Thanks so much for watching! That trip was a wonderful experience.
Finished your video. Great scenery. I've stayed at that lean to several times. Surprised to see water so high there in the fall. Also have suggested in past, you must get to northern Ontario. I'm only 20 minutes from border so have been there as many times as the ADKs. Algonquin Park is nice, but go further to Temagami area. Fantastic.
nice trip!!... Next time find some Pine Tar and put on your cut... I just did the day trip into that area and back next day, special place.. not another soul around at the Lean to, same one you stayed at
Done this trip! Heard Bigfoot at Lows Lake......and sooooo many beavers on the river!
Cool! I love it out on Lows
Looks like the high water made it easier to cross the beaver dams, unless you edited the video of them out! Also, if the pizza/beer tasted ad good as it looked, where was that?
It dumped rain all day and night for 3 days. We had high water for sure. We still had to cross about 6-7 dams by foot and it’s a pain in the ass to film that and not fall/ drop my stuff/ lose my boat just to film something. I also didn’t want to show every second of the trip because it was 3 hours of video! The pizza is from the food truck that parks at Raquette Brewery. Thanks for watching.
Great video. Thanks for posting. How did you guys like the Bills bags? I got one recently. I was surprised there was no hip belt.
I love them besides the lack of a padded hip strap. They are so heavy! There should be an option for one. I think the 110s do have them
Love your videos. Just need to add an “e” on the end of Oswagatchie…..
Ohhh my god thanks for pointing this out.
Good job! Haven't done that trip in years! Want to do it again. Looks like water levels were perfect! Always a good time running around the woods in the rain looking to hang your food! Is that Miracle Noodle any good? Thanks for the vid!
Haha thanks! The water levels were really ideal. Got lucky for my first Oz river trip. Thankfully the rain was rather warm and it was pretty nice. That noodle thing was actually really good!!
Great to see you back canoeing! I'm halfway through your great vid. Never did the traverse, but paddled upstream from Inlet a lot. Maybe next year. How long did it take you to do the portage? Any more info on someone stealing canoe racks?
Thanks Greg! The first one took about 30 mins and the second one took a little over an hour. It’s 2.2miles. Haven’t heard anything new about the rack thief. I heard from the Owner of Raquette River Outfitters that it’s been happening and have been leaving people stranded with a canoe out there with no service to call anyone. Pretty messed up.
@@DanielleRootes Wow. Less time than I thought. I have a Swift kevlar Shearwater solo. Maybe nest year.
@@gregschuler1596 you’ll be able to cruise with that thing as long as you pack light!
