I haven't seen too many fawns this year and was happy when this one showed up in my yard yesterday.

Never be embarrassed by how much gear you bring. It does kinda look like you're on your way to the dump though.;) Nice find, I didn't know the Explorer came in a 17' model.

I've been wanting to check this place out for a couple years now. I'd driven by looking for an access before, but never found one. There was a spot on the creek that drains it that was a potential put in but the State was repairing the bridge and there was no access for a couple years. I had...

I don't know where you can get one, but when you find one you'll know where to take one.

I only get on the board when it's warm enough to swim and I plan on getting wet. I guess I figure that if I wouldn't wear a pfd swimming why would I wear one on the board. Plus I started SUP in Hawaii where no-one wears one, and that's offshore in the ocean and in the surf.

Do you use a leash? If not, you would certainly need a PFD.

I'm pretty PFD compliant, but I don't wear one on a paddle board. I am attached to the board with a leash. I consider the board to be my PFD.

There does seem to be a lot of bears around this year. Maybe because they are having more cubs than normal. This photo was posted on fb. It was taken a few miles down the road from me. You can clearly see six cubs with a possible seventh in front of the mother. The most I’ve seen was four. A...

Dry land snubbing to the extreme. They look like nice poles.

The painting in Pook's post #227 above inspired me to take this photo last week on the Delaware. I can now see I should have tilted the boat towards the camera.

Thanks. That boat does have nice lines, and the good lighting didn't hurt. It's an 18' Old Town Guide from 1942. More importantly, it is great to paddle, with good glide and according to the old catalog it's a very well behaved canoe.

Delaware River, north of Milford Pa. on 6/17. It was a beautiful day with lots of wildlife. It was also the first time I had seen the shad running up the river.

I have a similar conundrum, except mine isn't about weight or fragility. It's about cost and ease of repair between two boats. My w/c canvas canoes are the ones I prefer to paddle, but a mishap on moving water or dragging over shallows could cause damage that would be harder and more expensive...

Haha, yeah now the only problem will be not to run out of money before I "check out" Thanks Robin, so far the most stressful part was finding somewhere live and store all my stuff during the process. I ended up renting a 16' POD storage unit and luckily found a place to rent a mile down the...

Steve, we tore down the cottage that we had in Pa. and are building a house that meets spousal approval.
