Wow Dave, we may have crossed paths. I paddled out of Lows that Saturday. I was tandem with my Sweetheart in a Red Old Town Penobscot. The weather and foliage was truly great.

Nice video. Making it added to the trip's complexity I'm sure. Thank you for the extra effort and sharing with us.

Wow - glad you had fun in spite of all the effort. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the photos.

That looks great Alan! I'm sure Evan will enjoy it. Nice job.

I hope that canoe creates a lot of memories for you and your grandchildren in and around it. I'm sure you will spruce it up nicely.

We set off back for camp and encountered some wind while crossing back to the lake’s North Shore. No whitecaps but enough to require a good deal of extra effort. After a little nap in the Enos Doublenest Hammock we started to pack what we could to prepare for a quick and early exit the...

I do have to mention our Luci Lantern here. Solar powered, inflatable lantern. It proved to be a favorite source of fuel-less and silent light. After turning in for the night I woke up around 2AM to empty my bladder and I am glad I did. The stars were amazing. I fell back to sleep...

Got the filtered water flowing and pitched the tent. MS got the sleeping pads and bags in the tent and I went to cooking. Spaghetti with meat sauce was the dish. The sauce MS had dehydrated into a leather and the ground beef was freeze dried Mountain House brand. I boiled up some water and...

I woke up early on Wednesday and looked outside to see the sunrise. It was beautiful so I woke up MS and both of us took some time gawking before snapping photos. MS spotted an eagle while I started breakfast. Unfortunately, we didn’t get any photos of the eagle. LowsLake09_2014-21.jpg by...

This is it. My first wilderness camping trip ever. The good news is I was bringing my canoe and my Sweetheart. Our first vacation together, been dating since December 2013. I don’t have a lot of camping experience and I really didn’t want to look stupid on this trip in front of the one I...

Great photos! I'm glad you and your family are having fun making memories. And thank you for sharing them with all of us.

LOL, I was just dealing with this. I think I have to set a date with my stuff sacks and label maker. Thanks for the great idea.

Whelp, I made the table too large. It had too much "extra" hanging over the sides and it was too tempting to use that space and render the table top unstable so I sliced it down the center mid trip and we used the halves as personal "lap tables". I took (literally, lol) a roadside coroplast...

Welcome You've come to the right place !

I hope it works out for you. New canoes are tough to top. I'm sure the grandkids will remember the day.

Welcome. I'm glad you are enjoying both your canoe and the website.

I had a Vagabond and replaced it with a Swift Keewaydin 15. The Keewaydin has the sliding, adjustable for trim, seat and I raised it up by shortening the hangers so I could fit my feet under it for kneeling. It is a bit tender - fine for paddling while sitting but most likely too tender for...

Thanks for the kind comments, I am proud of that one. I was thinking while looking at my best photos from that (my most recent) trip that they looked stripperguy-esque - same sort of content within the same locale. And only my best shots - no offense to stripperguy meant.

Welcome. I'm sure you'll enjoy it here.
