    Make a Lamoille lighter

    Welcome! I love the pictures of all the snow-laden trees. I’ve been looking at some canoeing locations in Finland. A country with more water than land is marvelous.

    Twilight Paddling

    When I lived in Ochopee, I’d slide the boat out for a moonlit paddle every full moon. One night turning from the deep canal into the wet prairie I crashed into something which thrashed around, knocking the boat around. It was over before I could get scared. I suspect it was a large gator, or...

    The Tichegami Odyssey

    It’s exciting to have the water chasing you. Camping in thé 10,000 Islands, a high tide and a storm brought the water within a foot of the tent. We were on the highest point of the little island. Luckily it stopped rising before it hit the tent.

    What Happens to a Lake When Its Dam is Removed

    Much to the dismay of David Brower.

    In defense of dams, which U.S. canoeists should worship!

    Florida has a lot of natural lakes and many of the spring fed rivers are not dammed. Fisheating Creek is not dammed but only because angry citizens objected. The further south you do, the more dams and other impediments impair water flow.
