Thank you all for your concern and thoughts. You’re a good group, or forum, if that’s a better word. For more than 2 years I’ve been reading your posts, going back a year or more sometimes on certain threads. learning about your ideas, personalities (some of you are real characters), watching...

Tryin’, Thanks much for the pricing info, and supporting a spring sale idea. That’s a help. Since I’ve been meaning to visit Bloomington, my home town, and I have friends near Indy…hmmm, what if I made a road trip? Just a thought (wish) ;-)

I’m not sure if I’m doing this right, but giving it a shot. For more than two years, I’ve been dreaming of getting a canoe and tripping in the west, BWCA, and my old haunts in the ADK. Having purchased a new Rendezvous in 2022, only being on flat water and a short river, my health dictates that...

Hey From Denver, Co. I came here to ask others their thoughts on how to price a Wenonah Rendezvous that’s been in the water (three reservoirs and one short river). It’s 42#, 15’8”, Kevlar, great tripping canoe, 2”/2” rocker. Saw your request and thought I’d share my situation, although almost o...

My 2023 Suby Forester with 15’8" Wenonah Rendezvous sitting on 2x4s crossbars attached to the rails. First time out this summer at Barr Lake (reservoir) north of Denver, CO. (Yeah, I know, I’m going the wrong way…lot was full) )[A

If you’re interested in canoes in CO, check out https://canoecolorado.net/. There’s also the Rocky Mt. Canoe Club (https://rockymountaincanoeclub.net/), and Poudre Paddlers (Ft. Collins) (https://www.poudrepaddlers.org/). Folks often put up canoes for sale. Good luck

Here’s my hand-held Kestrel 2500 with sturdy plastic slip case and lanyard. Maybe shoulda gotten a brighter color, but beyond that, at a few $$, this has quite a few functions. Does air temp° F/C; stick it in the water for surface temps…or tie a rock and sink to a certain depth for a few...

How do I connect with you?

Glenn, is it possible to have a private conversation with you re: the fund drive? Thanks, Nomad

Greetings, Bob

After more than a year since you shared this question, I wondered what happened? Did you complete a solo? If so, what was the experience like? Thanks.

After considerable checking around for the best canoe (for me), I was considering a Northstar Phoenix IXP. Went to Canoe Colorado's warehouse to heft it, make sure I could manage it alone (I could). Then came the Rendezvous idea came up. It, too, passed the heft test. Main concern with the PHX...
