last Fall, we discussed having a big cookout/party at the Dayton Canoe Club for the eclipse..........those still working downtown could walk up the bike/hike path along the river to the club then head back to work afterwards. We have cut back somewhat on our big plans.....It started out with...

Congrats! Can’t wait to see pics Mike

I haven't been in a couple of years, but made reservations at the Holiday inn Express across the street for this year. Unfortunately, I am currently dealing with a family issue right now and won't be able to fully commit until closer to the event. For those of you that like...

We recently "unearthed" some old video's of the Dayton (Ohio) Canoe Club. To me, the most interesting was 4:00 minutes of professional (back then) footage shot of the DCC's second Regatta in 1914. This is significant, because the city was still rebuilding from the "1913 Flood". In the...

Congrats! Mike

😂 a lot of first timers and kids….all in fun!

We held our annual regatta yesterday. Weather was perfect and we had a nice turn out.

Had to resurrect this older thread after lunch today. The wife wanted to drive down to Milford, Ohio to eat at a newer restaurant, “the Governor “ that will be featured on “Diners, Drive-ins, and dives” hosted by Guy Fierhi(sp?). The episode airs this Friday. After lunch I talked her into...

Congratulations! 🛶 Mike

Spring creek manufacturing makes a lot of unique canoe accessories including racks and a real nice goalpost for a receiver which I have. They have also done a lot of custom racks for trucks . You might give them a call and see what options are available for your application. Mike Spring...
