It looks like the move has suited you. Alan

Those ingredients are considered vegetarian where lard is not. A chicken can lay and egg and walk away. A pig can't do the same with lard. :) Alan

That was my first thought too. I'd guess lard. Alan

There was a guy like that that used to be in my jiu jitsu gym. He was big and strong and I don't think he knew just how big and strong he was. You just kind of went with the flow, tried not to make him mad, and hoped he didn't accidentally hurt you. I never thought of shooting crackler shells...

I kind of did that once. It was really fun. For a couple years I bought a ton of different canoes whenever I found a good deal. Some I kept but most I resold, some at a loss and some at a profit. I got to paddle a lot of different hull shapes and learned a lot about what I like and what I don't...

Got it, thanks. Nice sleuthing. I saw the page description as "Wildfire and Flashfire Descriptions" and never opened it to see there was more. Alan

Is that the correct link? It takes me to some old Bell catalog images and I don't see the Traveler in any of them. Alan

A quick Google search pulls up plenty of info on mixing MEKP with polyester and vinylester resins...

Maybe not so bad. Pay $30/night and put up with a bunch of jabronies at the surrounding sites or pay $300/night and have the place to yourself. Alan

I couldn't agree more. My local paddle is a fairly lazy river with no rapids and lots of shallows. The current runs about 2mph when bank full. I learned how to read moving water and use eddies by training on this river when I used to race. There is nothing like a tippy 18.5' solo canoe with no...

I asked Chat GPT to scour the web and compile a history of the Traveler series canoes. Doesn't seem to be much out there.

I haven't really kept up on the used canoe market lately but one caveat to this might me that a 35 year old hull that virtually no one is familiar with is likely to bring less than a slightly newer hull that people are familiar with and desire. Unless I had fond memories of a Bell Traveler III...

Since no one knows what kind of resin you have in that unmarked can it's going to be pretty hard to say for sure. Alan

I gotta work on my J stroke. Alan

Forum anti-swearing rule be danged: What a crap heel mother effing bullpucky thing for him to do! He guilts you into taking the Zoleo and you cut the trip short to appease him for that? And he makes you stop and see his parents on the way home? No one wants to stop and visit someone else's...

In your research did you find other manufacturers having similar issues or did you read anything on what other manufacturers do in order to not have the issue? That would certainly be frustrating to finally spring on a brand new boat only to have little issues like this. Alan

Do you have cottonwood going to seed already? Alan

I had a Ford Focus. Thule and Yakima made brackets which were plenty solid but when placed in the specified locations the bar spread was, in my opinion, much too small for a 16'+ canoe. I partially removed the headliner, drilled holes in the roof, and installed some aluminum angle I had laying...

I was in that area for a couple weeks nearly 20 years ago. I don't think I was really even looking for a paddle but was just cruising the back roads checking things out when I came upon Priest Lake. All I had was a Delorme atlas and it looked like it showed an interesting channel connecting...

I highly 2nd the recommendation of Upper Priest Lake. Alan
