The Indian and I both had off a few days from school for the holiday and we donned the drysuits on and found open water. We usually do a yearly winter campout or an April/May paddle so with the warm weather and ice out in may sections we planned both! Parked at Axton Landing and paddled...

Needed to go outdoors, been 2 years, finally some cold/cool weather, no rain and school vacation! Big pond in Catskills has a few walk in primitive sites. Parking lot good for 10 cars. People ice fishing over there. Perfect for my laziness and bringing as much as the truck can hold! Temps in...

Hello all happy holidays, I'd like to hear your opinions on how to transport my canoe or both canoes. I just bought a 2020 Ford F150 Supercrew with the short bed. It came with a 3 panel tonneau cover. I bought a small camper trailer last year (Casita 17ft) and we are getting ready to retire...

A few of us got together yesterday, Tsuga8, Curlymoe and me for a short paddle in the Hudson Valley area. The normal rainy weekends were stopping us but luckily we had a few hours of dry weather. After picking up our $10 state fee paddle permits we launched ahead and took a lazy slow paddle...

Hello fellow paddlers, I'm driving up from the NYC suburbs for a day paddle at this state park on Saturday October 14th. There is no entrance fee that late in the season but there is a $10 paddle fee which I believe is good for 7 days. The office opens at 8:00 am and the park closes at...

Just erased my original message, don't think I'm ever going to learn. Restored Spring 2018 by Frank in Schuyler Thomson's shop, new canvas, paint, some ribs, planks, decks, some gunnels. Included, chestnut paddle, canoe cart, potage pads plus a cool pack basket that i bought a few months ago...

Located on Long Island NY $800 Always stored indoor garage I can meet within a certain distance to help out. Pretty good shape considering my test paddle took us backwards down as Robin called it "sketchy" rapids in CT a few years back. After swimming back to the boat as Waterspyder was I...

I went up last week to Dave’s shop and traded my Placid Rapidfire and cash for a sweet Hemlock Peregrine. I loved my Rapidfire and it served me very well for many years. Due to more knee issues I felt that a dedicated canoe would be best. Took the Peregrine out this past weekend up in the...

Not mine, just saw it on FB marketplace. Long Island NY. Really nice looking, seller asking $3500. You can read about it on his posting. Boy, wish i had a camp on a lake for it. Sorry, i don't know how to post a link for it.

Mid 1960’s Totally Restored about 5 years ago by Jim in CT at Schuyler Thomson’s shop . Few planks were added. Plus end caps. I probably have a thread on the site somewhere. What can I say about it? Wonderful to paddle solo, last trip was with Robin up in Maine. Just had my knee replaced...

As the title asks? seems like there isn't a forum to sign back on? I liked that site, especially after Wintertrekking stopped. I don't really want to go on Facebook but maybe that's cost effective these days. Anyone know?

Come one come all! Where? Somewhere in Maine, northeast area. Robin has great ideas so I’m letting him be my guide. I just hope the bagels I bring last after the 400 mile drive. When? Around mid week August 16? But flexible for a few days around there. How long? I’d like to stay up there 3-5...

To all the paddling mothers out there and the mothers of paddlers and the wives who are mothers of paddlers, and the grandmothers and mothers who are looking down keeping everyone safe, have a lovely day to all. Plus the fathers who are both mother and father. I was Mr Mom in late 80’s early...

18ft Kevlar 49 tandem listed at 51 lbs Saw old threads including Robin’s rebuild. Plastic sliding seats, aluminum cross pieces. Saw in P Net old threads and BWCA that Ted Bell was involved with the company. I have a Souris River 17ft tandem but thinking this might be good for….yep, gift to...

Mullica River is about an hour southeast of Philadelphia PA and app 100 miles from NYC. I had the week off from school and ended up taking two trips there. Had a friend in need of escaping the busy life and wanting nature. It would be his first camping trip in 40 years and first canoe...

Clemency mentioned in another thread about giving away gear to his son. I too have given away gear to my daughter because she showed a love for camping, hiking and paddling. Nothing I gave her was new, but all in good condition, I think. Let’s see BA solo tent Neo air mattress Older air...

So after 4 months of planning that Hurricane was going towards Maine and last day or two it turned But I planned drive going that way just had me second guessing. Plan B, 330 miles away ADK. arrived early in the lot and unloaded the car. Love canoeing with short simple portage. Fun stuff...

First, thank you for offering ideas. Here is the idea(s) Around late August Solo (possibly tandem, read below) 4 nights Want to take the Chestnut so no portages Maybe a big loop with the little lakes and streams I did read up on the Lobster lake and Jo Mary's Willing to drive up to Baxter and a...

Remember the "Off" spray commercial with one arm sprayed and the other not? Holy cow, my friend got chewed up when we paddled and camped on Little Tupper Lake last weekend. It was so serious that we cut the trip short one day. Temps were cool and water cool so we both wore paddling pants...
