Many places in the Ocala National Forest were hit pretty hard. This website has a news area about Juniper Springs near the bottom of the page. By the way, if you are a bird watcher the area below the Juniper Springs takeout to the takeout on the boat ramp on the St. Johns River (Lake George) has...

What do you do to take it's place? Use a lantern, Luci light, sit in the dark or go to bed early? Kayak_Ken (in a canoe)

Saves time and hassle of sticking in dead battery in camera.

Stayed at a friends house during the hurricaine and just got back home now. We got lucky, no damage to our home but had alot of yard debris to clean up. Even though Irma had shifted quite aways from us the damage and flooding around here was staggering in some places. We passed a couple of homes...

Just received word that we will have a mandatory evacution starting at 6 pm Friday.

I share your pain. We live less than 10 miles from the coast near the Fl/GA border and plan on taking a beating. We are renting a 10 X 20 storage unit for a month to stick stuff in. It might be an option for you. Since we had a manatory evaction for Mathew I am pretty sure we will have leave for...

It's a picture of me going over Kayak Falls on the French Broad in North Carolina. I just wanted to show that even thought I am from Florida that I have been in whitewater before.

No Title Since a lot of this Moose River trip involves me I guess I should give my side of it. "Here is more info This is what my friend said " he lowered it the first little ledge then got in trying not to get wet, the eddy force drew him right into the wave side surf style and flipped him...

I am a Florida paddler whose only experience in portaging is a long walk from the parking area to the water usually on flat sandy soil. I am going going on a trip in Maine next week (Moose River Bow Trip) and had a couple of portaging questions. We will be using a shuttle to skip the long...

Another question, would you wear the top under or on top of your PFD?

Living in Florida I usually don't paddle in the rain unless I get caught in an afternoon shower in warm weather. I am going to go to Maine at the end of the month and paddle the Moose River Bow trip. The ten day weather forcast calls for low 60's with showers every day. I have a pair of NRS...

"seems our either our forestry managers don't understand the necessity for a robust prescribed burn program or they are hampered in their efforts via politics or budgets and/or both or something else." I get down to the Ocala National forest alot and have a chance to talk to the Forest Staff...

No Title Had an enjoyable afternoon with my wife making labels for my dry bags and getting ideas for future "do it together projects".

No Title I like the idea of some form of label/tag for my drybags also. When I told my wife what I wanted and asked her to make me some she said do you realize how much work that would be. I wondered aloud how many kevlar canoes her sewing machines were worth and she responded with "how many...

We have been having 100+ feel like days since May down here in Florida. We will be getting a small break this week, too bad it is coming from TD9. The only thing keeping me sane is reading the great trip reports and canoe resortations projects. Kayak_Ken (in a canoe).

Doug, Pick up a sprayer and rinse your boat off as soon as you take it out of the water. It can save you a bigger clean up job later on. Kayak_Ken (in a canoe)

Living in Florida I am really interested in your soft sided cooler results. Something I tried with good results was to cover my drinks and ice with about 1"-2" of styroform peanuts. This helped keep the ice much longer because most of the ice was always covered all the time when I had the lid...
