Piseco to Moose River Recreation Area. 9lbs base weight, one ACD dog, not enough bug protection ha ha. It’s fly and mosquito season. First day was very hot humid . Trail normal ,very wet. Mostly top of shoe sink in the muck wet. I planed about 16 mile a day. Spent the night at West Lake 1. The shelter faces the lake. Water was nice and warm enough to swim. Big rain storm came in during the night and rained buckets most of the night. The rain kept the bugs away .Ate my usual gruel and was hiking by 6am in the rain . It was perfect temp . No rain coat needed. The numerous water crossings were running much faster and trail water deeper. I estimate one third of the trail was shoe deep now . Well more like ankle deep. Crossed one streams on beaver dams. I slipped and fell in to fast moving water a few times. Pickle suffered a injury to his right rear pad. 17 miles later Wakely dam. The end of the hike. Lots of flooding from beavers .We saw no other hikers. Blow downs blocking the trail ,to numerous to count. Trail is well marked. No phone service. It was a fabulous trip. Next time net tent for me and pickle oh and bring gaiters ha ha.
