Guiding on the Green, Colorado, Gunnison we use the 20 Gallon jugs. When by myself, I use those water cubes w/ a spigot to fill a "dromedary bag" or fill 2 48 oz Nalgenes and 2 recyled gatorade 28 oz to measure/monitor my water consumption. I am by NO means a foodie on personal trips, so...

For YEARS I NEVER saw another canoe being paddled. I was on the Puget Sound paddling my canoe and would be asked about it. Paddling the Colorado River outside of Moab in a WW canoe and ANOTHER WW canoe came up. We had the greatest time talking. Finally I asked him. "You are originally from the...

I was 12 and my stepdad had taken a job transfer from EASTERN Mt to SW Colorado. He had grown up and I heard great stories about his canoeing on the Delaware, Upstate NY and when he went to school in Montana. "We" bought a canoe and he and I travelled around SW Colorado fly fishing out of it...

Thank you Glenn. Yes - @Halpc.

So thanks all for the input. I was able to get a Loon from a canoe tripping member. I spent half a day hanging out with HankPC including a paddle. What a great day. Took the boat to 3 Forks Montana and splashed it at the start of the Missouri near 3 Forks Montana. While empty, I was able to...

Hi SouthernKevlar, Ideally this summer but the clock is ticking [fast].... in any case, I plan on going solo. Thanks for the suggestion on the Monarch, I will definitely keep my eyes open for that boat also. I have thought about a Wenonah Prism w/ a spray deck as a fallback plan. There aren't...
