  Awesome video! I’d like to do this 3 day trip with my wife how was the camping there? Can you leave equipment at the camp and hike up?

  @matthewgallant3622 Thanks!camping was amazing! There is some strict rules though, and for good reason. Like to protect sensitive vegetation, so you can't just pitch a tent anywhere. I left my gear in my lean-too. Lots of critters so don't forget to hang your food before heading out.

  Since you completed this great journey, looking back, is there a particular stretch of the St.Croix that stands out to you more than others? Likely hard to quantify that, i know. Thanks.
