I use my existing and long owned Yakima round bars on my Subaru Forester with raised roof rails and they should continue to be usable on vehicles with raised roof rails. For several reasons I need a subcompact sedan and I like Mazda 3 sedans. I need to use the Yakima Stretch Kit on the Mazda to...

This is why I have ceased posting wanted-to-buy notices.

I agree with your comment re. car manufacturers and roof top rails. I have been repurposing my old Yakima round bars onto newer vehicles for many years. However, since Yakima moved away from round bars to aero bars about 10 years ago, it is no longer possible use round bars w/ Q-clips any...

On this issue I think back to the many years of Wabakimi Project trips I participated in. Uncle Phil would not allow us to burn any trash contending that there would be scents while burning it which could attract bears. I had wanted to rinse out Mountain House pouches concerned these would...

Hahaha…

Canoecopia has a long history. I started attending in the early 1980’s when it was held in a smaller building in the same location as the current venue. Before that there was a one day event at the Monroe St store, which was formerly a small IGA grocery store. There were a few presenters in a...

Any alcoholic beverage will do and I am sure he would appreciate it.

Having read Ramlin Boy’s TR on his visit to Cliff Lk and toast to Uncle Phil, reminded me that I was there with Phil on my first WP in September 2007. Uncle Phil’s ashes reside there and if you want to toast him consider using Drambuie, his drink of choice in the early years of the WP or rum and...

What I remember is while 2009 was an extremely rainy, high water year on the Albany, 2010 was a low water year. Uncle Phil’s SR boats really took a beating. As I recall, he had Souris River pick them up that fall and rebuild/refinish them over the winter.

In my youth it was Southport Beach a couple blocks from where I grew up. In 1965 after high school I worked there as a lifeguard and had to deal with those troublesome neighborhood kids acting just like me when I was their age.

Very touching and well written with lots to think about. Peace to you and yours.

Recped, thanks for your detailed summary of getting from the railroad to the Albany. I did the Albany with the Wabakimi Project over a few years but never made it to Hudson Bay. The year we planned to do that was the extremely rainy season of 2009. We could not get beyond Achapi Lk due to the...

Yes, it's not far but probably more easily accessed off Hwy 702 going east from Hwy 599. Next year gamma may be able to clarify this for us since he might be hopping off the train at Chilvelston. Gamma - starting an Albany Rv trip at Chilivelston must have been before Hwy 599 went in - quite...

gumpus, when I saw your photo I immediately thought Lake Michigan. My view at Lake Michigan is just like yours but I am looking from Racine WI toward Michigan.

Chivelston Lk is just north of the railroad and due east of the village of Savant Lake (on Hwy 599).
