I moved to wood/canvas canoes about seven years ago. I haven't had a dedicated solo in just as long. I found a Mohawk Solo 14 on Craigslist a couple weeks ago for 100 dollars and couldn't pass it up. It is a fantastic hull. Fast and stable. Im not sure if it's Royalex or Royalite, but it is a...

I broke down and bought a travel trailer. Dealing with a wet canvas tent every trip was getting tiresome. This is my new set up I tested out last weekend.

Adirondack carry

New Tacoma. First trip to ADK with it. Our trusty Chestnut is on the rack.

Raquette river. I added an electric outboard this year. Very impressed with the performance and silence!

I'm a fan. I paddle W/C canoes and like the extra protection. Especially on rocky Adirondack waterways. I suppose as I get older I will ditch the to save weight.

Nothing but clouds in CNY, but we were able to see glimpses. Watching a wall of darkness come straight at me was wild and worth the mile bike ride.

Snow total is down 60 inches in Syracuse! I've seen grass all winter. We only has one significant snowfall which melted within days

Viking snowshoes. They have only been used for decoration. Great condition. Local pickup in CNY.

My Prospector had a factory keel as well. Nice quick sale on this one!

I saw that. 79 mph at the Watertown airport. I'm on Otisco Lake. We had gusts just under 60. I just had my power restored after 24 hours. It was not fun.

I think the waves got it. I don't know how. It was upside down and waves were crashing hard into shore.I have been on this lake for over a decade and have never seen them that big. They may have been five footers. Alan- I don't know how you slept that night. I wouldn't have been able to

Last night we had intense wind storms in CNY. I keep my grumman down by the water during the winter for easy access. The waves were massive yesterday. I have at least 10 feet of clearance between the water and the canoe. In no way did I expect this to be an issue. I checked the canoe before the...

I used to snowshoe, but we don't get snow in CNY anymore. I only had enough snow to go out once last winter. In early March. A week later it was all gone. The lake I live on froze over for one week last winter so ice fishing is out as well.

Interesting. I thought they were part of the Appalachias as well
