The photo I took of the Ragged Mountain sale was the last day when almost everything on sale was gone

I agree with Yellow Canoe and others about Ragged Mountain Equipment in Intervale New Hampshire ( near North Conway). We hike this area in the fall and try to cross country ski in Jackson every year and Ragged Mountain is well stocked and has knowledgeable staff to support both activities ( we...

I have large ankles which are not very flexible and foot entrapment was an issue I worried about on the Bell Rob roy with kneeling thwart I get stiff as I have gotten older sitting for hours in my Kaskazi kayaks which have a snug fit like a surf ski so I wanted a dual kneeling/sitting canoe to...
