    The top places you have ever paddled

    I’d enjoy another trip down the Colorado through Moab. My kids enjoyed jumping in often and floating alongside their kayaks and my wife and I enjoyed the scenery and watching the kids have fun.

    New to tracking on my SPOT

    The 3rd generation units have a motion detecting sensor so you just leave it on and it'll go into power saver when you stop and then start tracking again when you move. The 2nd generation unit, which I have, requires you to manually start tracking once every 24 hours. I use it on long motorcycle...

    SUP Tripping: Realistic or Ridiculous?

    SUPs are fun I built one a few years ago. They are a great core body workout and it's a neat experience to be standing at almost water level and looking down into the water. You see a lot more aquatic life than you'll ever see sitting in your canoe. (stand in your canoe and you'll see the...

    Late, slow and unprepared paddling companions – A rant

    The shuttle concept is lost on so many and I cannot understand why. It's such a simple concept that I understood it as a kid when we'd go on a float trip.

    It's raining fire.

    Dang that sucks, we've had a wet winter and early spring flooding (today) which has historically been followed by a dry summer with lots of extra vegetation to burn up. I hate it for the folks displaced and losing everything, it's rough times for a lot of folks right now.

    Solo Canoe Seating

    I don't put seats in my canoes. I like the option of adjusting where I am, how I sit, etc. I get restless legs pretty bad and so it's nice to carry a stadium seat and when sitting gets old I'mm kneel, or drop to the bottom and stretch out, stand up, pace back and forth, whatever! Plus it's nice...

    Help me plan my first Canadian trip!

    It's just like paddling in the US, except the beer is stronger, the people are really nice and if asked about Hockey you better have a favorite team. :)

    Photo of the day

    Just a lousy phone pic, but it's the kinda stuff I see every single float I take around here which is kinda why I hang around and suffer through the 8 month long winters :(

    Fundraising knife nearing completion. There is still time to enter the raffle.

    Stanfield is easy to pronounce and even if you get it wrong I won't be upset :)

    Interesting new idea for loading a canoe

    I agree, it looks like an overly complex solution in search of a problem to me.
