Interesting. Do you have any idea how old she is now?

The Upper Gauley River in 2019 with disaster at the undercut and retentive Room of Doom at Pillow Rock Rapid. Also a very dangerous rock crack run (intentional or unintentionally desperational?) above Sweet's Falls, through which only a very narrow canoe could fit without getting permanently stuck.

Two right side runs of Lava Falls in tandem canoes in 2016. First, in a tandem with full splash cover: Next, a tandem fully bagged but with no canoe cover:

Two solo canoes, an Esquif Extasy (red) and a Covert 10.5 (blue), run the extreme left side "sneak route" of Lava Falls in 2023:

A solo right side run of Lava Falls in 2012:

A nice traditional right side run of Lava Falls on the Colorado River in a solo Silverbirch Rebel in 2019:

Here's the map for those of us who aren't familiar with it: https://cwfis.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/interactive-map The map seems to show the vast majority of fires are from western Ontario to the Pacific Ocean and far up into the Northwest Territories and Yukon. Why would the eastern half of Canada...

I read that this possibly has been the worst wildfire season in recorded Canadian history. https://globalnews.ca/news/11324707/canadas-2025-wildfire-season-now-second-worst-on-record-fuelled-by-prairies-blazes/ The smoke is polluting the air in Canada and in many states in the U.S., including...

Yes, there are two public boat launch ramps on the lake. Other launch spots are the six "town parks," which are only available to town residents who have bought a season pass. But the season pass is only required from Memorial to Labor Day. After that, launching is available from the town parks...

It's water. A lot of it. It's canoeable. I can't be too picky about nature immersion in the populated state we live in. The north end of the lake from the Sherman Town Park to the New Milford Town Park, or vice versa, would probably be a nice full day trip on a non-windy day.

That sounds very doable, but watch your six. Here's Huki Jude surfing a boat wake on what is probably the Sacramento River, and it looks as though he's flying the ama, too.

These could be the first member still images from a drone posted on the site, or at least in this thread. I believe we've had some drone footage in member trip videos. Just curious, Steve, how high a tide was that and have you tried both rudders?

After resolving the Mystery of Rotated Images on this site, I went for quick paddle on nearby Candlewood Lake, which is the largest lake within 60 miles of New York City. It has variety. Launch from a beach that has other residents' canoes stacked up. A few summer homes have the usual...

The Newman brothers in Canton now retain only their paddle making business. They sold the GRB canoe making business earlier this year to Max Eaton in Wilmington, NY, which is within the Adirondack Park. Here is the new GRBmax website: https://www.grbmax.com/
