Smokey haze has reached here in Northern Pennsylvania. People with breathing problems are suggested to stay indoors.

Great trip report. The story only goes to prove, you can never have a bad day in the Adirondacks.

jjmaine Just a word to let you know what I found with my NEXT. Moving the seat forward or backward to trim the canoe makes a world of difference in how it paddles or "feels". Try paddling with the seat in different positions to see how it acts. With my NEXT, a very little change in trim makes...

Welcome to the campfire. Looking forward to your posts.

Glad you found the canoe that's right for you. Looking forward to seeing your posts and pics out on the water.

Glenn, that's a great idea, I'll have to try that.

I read those remarks about the seat falling out of the tracks before buying and that was one of the first things I took a closer look at. After paddling a few hours, I really don't see any problem under normal conditions. It seems to me that you would have to work at it to make it fall out. The...

I was in the market for a solo canoe last summer and after a lot of research had narrowed by choices down between a Hornbeck and a Old Town NEXT. Having had two back surgeries and multiple surgeries on both legs, I went with the NEXT because of the seat and being able to get in and out easily...

Very nice report and pics. The Clarion River is very popular with a lot of people. The fishing can be very good at the right time of the year. After Memorial Day it can be very crowded.

Welcome Shannon, Glad you could join us, looking forward to your posts.

YC, Very interesting looking. I would sure like to experience a week or so exploring country like that. Looking forward to your trip report when you get back.

This might turn out to be something good for me. Now it may force me to go to some of the other places I always say I'd like to try but never do. Recently, I find myself looking at Maine a lot more. Maybe this is the year.

Getting out early was my plan also but life got in the way and held me up. Between the crowds and blackflies I think I can handle the blackflies better.

Thanks for the update. I'm headed up that way Monday. I couldn't decide where to go, and since I haven't been to LTL in years maybe I'll check it out. You didn't mention any blackflies so I'm taking that as a good sign.

memaquay- I haven't installed the stove jack yet. I'm trying to decide where I want the stove. Robin- Right now I'm using center poles. This way I only have the canvas and two telescopic poles to transport. I'll see if it works OK, if not I'll try using an internal frame. For such...

I have been wanting to extend my camping season so I took advantage of a 10x14 canvas tent gifted to me from my cousin. His old tent was unusable with some rotten spots in it, but I was able to get enough good canvas to make this 6x7x6 high wall tent. I tried to make it as light as possible...

I'm really looking forward to it, I've had the date circled since I read about it this Winter. Hope we have good weather.

Nice looking outfit. Congrats

Enjoyed the video with my coffee this morning, thanks for posting.

Love college hockey (y) Two great teams tonight, should be a exciting game.
