I finally learned to love my SRT and have run a number of Maine Rivers in it now. On some ledge drops that I would consider minor, I have taken on water over the bow. This has me thinking about a spray deck. I'm not trying to instigate a debate about the general value of spray decks. Rather, I...

Is anyone else suffering seasonal withdrawal syndrome now that paddling days are far and few between?

Actually, I'd like to know if there will a raffle because I would like to donate an item. Glenn?

Sent via Paypal. Thanks for managing the site, Glenn. Don't know how I would make it through the hard water season without it.

Not mine but something a friend shared with me a while back. I'm pretty sure he didn't write it.

Thought this might help answer the question.

Yup, at Spencer Rips portage I bumped into a husband and wife preparing lunch on the tailgate of their truck after a morning of bird hunting. They shared a cup of clam chowder and half a ham and cheese grilled sandwich with me. On the Appalachian Trail they call such folks "trail angels." It was...

The one bear we know of in Camden only comes into town to visit the Rankins hardware store.

Had my first bear encounter this past week while paddling the Moose River Bow Loop. Fortunately, I don't have a dramatic story to tell. Then I came across this on CNN this morning. Many of us know the drill but this is pretty well done and worth a read...

I hiked a loop around the reservoir back in the early 1990s. It was magnificent. I can only imagine the grandure that existed before the dam.

In Desert Solitaire, Ed Abbey writes about a float down the Colorado River shortly before they started building the Glen Canyon Dam. Abbey is a powerful and lyrical writer and his story will leave you grieving and perhaps weeping for all that we've lost.

Robin, was that at the end of Flagstaff Road or West Flagstaff Road?

I'm looking at several possible destinations starting this mid-week. One is Flagstaff Lake in Maine. In the AMC Quiet Water Guide, it looks remote enough, but the Gazetteer makes it look like a cottage lake with a dozen boat launches. Can anyone offer insight into what kind of experience I might...

Skin So Soft! A modern day miracle that will cure all kinds of ills.

I'm going to post a series of polls asking how many miles a day you do while tripping. Each poll will be for a specific style of paddling: Canadian style tandem, hit and switch, etc.

Two weeks ago on the St. Croix here in Maine we passed by the Baby's Grave campsite where four kids in their 20s/30s were blasting Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" while preparing breakfast. We paddled just a little faster to make sure they didn't catch up to us.

Two things. Thinning the herd and accepting the limitations of degenerative disc disease. Realistically, I've never going to do the kind of tripping for which this was designed. I'd rather it be under the control of someone who can play adventurous now out of my reach.

This probably will be listed for just another week and then I'm likely to take it on a trip where it will get scratched up a bit.So if you're in the market for a like new SRT, let me know.

I'll post pictures tomorrow but I have a white 2022 Hemlock SRT in like new condition for sale. This has the premium+ layup with internal skid plates and knee pads. $3,500. Will deliver within 100 miles, otherwise pick up only. Message me if interested.
