Just Checking

Day 2 (6/6/09)
It was very cold when we got up, 50 degrees, but we decided to go exploring anyway. As it turned out we never really got on the water and spent our time checking out various flowages and lakes in the area that we would like to try. I think my idea of kayaking the onion, at least up by the flowages, might be in question. It looks like much of it might be impassable. The flowages on the other hand looked relatively promising. Hingham really had no public access except at the dam but it looked doable. The water looked a little dirty in both Hingham and Waldo but we were told there were fish including northern pike in the Waldo flowage. I can’t wait to give it a try. On a whim, since we were in the area, we also went over and checked out Lake Ellen at Cascade. It looked promising but was by far the busiest and, with powerboat traffic, might be the most dangerous. At Lake Ellen the rain started. It never really got beyond sprinkles but with the temperature being what it was we decided it would probably be uncomfortable even if we didn’t take a dump.
