    What's your Portage Pace?

    I like Ports and I always double. On the return, you are most likely going to find me off on the side of the port looking at the vegetation. There is one that I do at a quicker pace and that one is the Carry around Allagash Falls. By the time you get there, it's been 4-5 days sitting in the...

    Who sleeps on the the newer light cots?

    Once you fly you never go to ground again, even with a light cot.

    Why race canoes?

    The only time I race in a canoe is trying to outrun a popup thunderstorm. I like paddling slowly and taking my time. That's how my trips are planned.

    Canoe Lake, Big Trout Lake Loop

    Portages don't bother me, I just plan around them. On our last trip this year, we did a 3500m and as a bonus, we got to do it in the rain. I was thinking of the last week in June going out through Potter, Brule, McIntosh L, Grassy...

    Canoe Lake, Big Trout Lake Loop

    Clockwise or Counter? I am thinking of Counter Clockwise and disappearing up Potter's to escape the crowds as soon as possible and come back against the grain. How does that work with paddling upstream? The only thing I see is between BigTrout and Otterslide.

    No More Tripping Yet Here?

    I'm still young enough (68) to not worry too much about the end of my tripping days. I have a couple of really light boats and just need to work a bit harder on the planning of my trips, not to over-extend myself, and when you put it all together shorter days of paddling lead to longer trips...

    What are you reading?

    Winter is coming and if you're looking for an excellent book to read try the true story, "Born to Be Hanged": 'The Epic Story of the Gentlemen Pirates Who Raided the South Seas, Rescued a Princess, and Stole a Fortune by Keith Thomson.' I listened to this book on my way back from GA. This crew...

    Frying Pans

    An Unmarked Wagner #12 at 14" and the rest are Griswold's because they are cheap. For most people, these pans are worthless

    Frying Pans

    Although I may or may not be the provider of pans, I blame Robin for introducing me to the pan, I can't help it if people outside this group can't figure out the value of these pans and purveyors of second-hand goods can't sell them except by reducing the price.

    Frying Pans

    I guess you could take Cast Iron if you want to portage all the extra weight but want to have an even heat transfer in the pan. I like the Cold Handle Pans when I do take a pan. I think this is a 10" pan
