I stumbled upon several great resources when I was planning my own through-paddle last year and would be happy to pay it forward. Feel free to contact me with any questions. And go for it! Especially the Mud Carry.
I would love help and additional resources. I am planning to paddle section 1 (and possibly 2) this May. Will be with a group of 4-5 other paddlers. Thanks!
I’ve done all of section 1 and a lot of Section 2 and an happy to answer any questions you have, Mark. You’ll find that these sections are pretty straightforward, though, with the NFCT maps. The adirondack forum (http://www.adkforum.com) is a good source of info for those NY segments.
