The soot covered pot was probably more out of place. Alan

I don't visit there much anymore but I checked in today and the most recent post I can find is from September 9th. When I'd checked in a month or so ago there were regular postings at that time. Alan

Thanks for keeping this report going. I'm enjoying it! Interesting scenery. The more I think about this sentence the more confused I get at the multitude of meanings:

I don't think weight is nearly as large of a factor as wind resistance. I did a fair amount of trailer pulling with my little 4 cylinder Corollas. One was a manual and the other an automatic. Pulling a small boat trailer converted to carry two canoes is hardly noticeable, even with 2 canoes...

That's a great idea! Well done. Alan

I think he means that people following online will notice the track has stopped updating. Alan

I had the same takeaway on one of my trips doing the same thing. I'd always heard paddlers talk about foot entrapment but I'd never experienced it before. I was surprised how often my foot ended up caught between two rocks while wading and how difficult it was to remove at times. Alan

You fell for the oldest trick in the book. That's what I used to tell people about Sadie when I wanted the place to myself. :) Alan

Yeah, but I think most of those were accidental. Imagine cramming everyone from the huge country of Canada in a small geographical area like California. Every time you miss a shot at a moose or grouse you're almost bound to hit someone by accident. If you think trying to shoot a moose in the...

I'm surprised to hear that. Canada is a pretty rough place. I've spent months traveling and sleeping out of my car, including less than a mile from the Mexican border, all without a firearm. I would often leave my vehicle unattended for extended periods of time. But Canada is the only place...

That's one of the reasons I paint some of mine. :) Alan

It's possible you're the one that's been 'hacked'. I don't know a lot about this but in my professional career (auto shop owner) I've seen a few shop owners very concerned that their customers have received text messages that appear to be from their shop requesting payment for recent services...

I just assumed Canadian clocks ran the other way, kind of like Australian toilets.

Movies ands stories about western exploration aren't full of unicorns and rainbows. Alan

I appreciate it. It really isn't that much of a pain (at least for me, I can't speak for Glenn). The software catches nearly all the nefarious members that apply and while it gets tedious it doesn't take long to quickly review and delete them every day. I kind of like sniffing out the ones...

I'm sure it's different for all of us. It's certainly a harder effort for me now at 47 than it was as 27. Back then I could fairly easily spike my heart rate to 190 and now it seems I have to be on the verge of death to get over 170. The activity makes a difference for me too. With a...

Ok, so maybe it's not as serious as the post title proclaims but it's certainly becoming a "thing." Yesterday there was an introductory post from a new member: His profile picture showed a lovely image of he and his wife in hunting gear, with a setting sun in the background, as they kissed...

I certainly did not take any offense to it. I understand what you're saying and I agree. It does feel more graceful performing single sided correction strokes in a responsive hull. I think this is a great analogy. With time and proficiency it does become nearly effortless (mentally). With hit...

Paddling sure seems to be a popular way when the water isn't frozen. I remember a lot of them being runners, bikers, skies, and snowshoers as well. They were an active group. Long steady state efforts (relatively easy zone 2), from my research and limited experience, seems to be the best way...

I change how I switch depending on conditions. The only constant is that the bottom hand is the one that hands off. If I'm paddling on the right side then my right hand (bottom) hands off to my left hand (the new bottom hand) and as the left hand begins placing the blade for the catch the right...
