Packrat, since you've publicly acknowledged that you turned 90 in February, you are to my knowledge the "senior-ist citizen" on the site. I'm curious, did you do the Bowron circuit alone?

Here is a graph showing the average number of daily "users active" each month from our migration onto Xenforo in August 30, 2021, through today: The highest actual daily total was 185 active users on February 19, 2025. What constitutes an "active user" each day is a bit murky. "Users" only...

As I pointed out in the thread on site member activity, what's clear from the 2016 poll vs. the 2026 poll is that the modal age, over the past 10 years, has moved from the 50s, skipped right over the 60s, and is now in the 70s. This suggests to me that folks interested in discussion forums about...

One thing obvious from the 2016 age poll vs. the 2026 poll is that, in ten years, the modal age here has jumped from the 50s, right over the 60s, and now into the 70s. Combine that with the obvious fact that kayak sales have significantly outpaced canoe sales for the past 40 years, and one can...

. . . to which at least @ppine and @recped had replied. There was nothing wrong or against the rules about the subject matter of the thread or the replies. It's just that, very coincidentally for administrative reasons, I don't want LLM AI bots reading or cataloging that subject matter. Sorry...

Post counts are not particularly accurate because deleted spam posts are counted, and we've been inundated with them almost daily for several months. I've taken aggressive steps to stop that over the past two days, which will also make legitimate registrations a bit more difficult. We have...

Day and place of birth in Oakland, Maryland, on April 17, 2026, weighing 21.8 lbs. (9.8 kg.): Second day of life, Siri Lake, West Virginia: Later that day, high above the North Branch of the Potomac River: Still a Textreme and cherry virgin.

To complete this history of administrators, there was another who took over for Robin in July 2013 but only lasted a few weeks. His name was Brian, a Floridian, and he went by the handle Drift Wood. https://www.canoetripping.net/threads/the-paddle-has-been-passed.566/...

Many of the posts Mike McCrea made in the vBulletin days now identify him as "Guest", but that generic name also applies to a lot of other posters from those days. I don't recall exactly why, but our webmaster said it had something to do with administrative actions under vBulletin that would not...

I've found a third thread on that date and featured it.

I never thought to look for the oldest posts in the trip report forums. Thanks, Erica. So, now we have two threads started on July 31, 2011.

The site was migrated from the vBulletin software platform, which had become increasingly and intolerably buggy, to our Xenforo software platform in late August 2021 by me after I became the owner and administrator on August 18, 2021, and was reopened after that migration and a complete...

The first thread I'm aware of on the site is THIS ONE, dated July 31, 2011. So, I consider that date to be the birthday of the site. The poster called "Guest" in that thread may have been @billconner. The late Willis was the founder of the site.

What model vehicle and canoes?
