Connecticut River canoe trip

In 2012 we went to the source of the Connecticut River and, over the years, have been paddling our way south. Last year, we reached our home. This year, we started from home and continued downriver through Hanover, around Wilder Dam, past Hartland Rapids at Sumner Falls, overnighted next to Harpoon brewery in Windsor, and pulled out at Wilgus State Park.
