This was developed to assist with physical therapy and now is being used to assist hikers go further and help failing knees continue the hiking they love. Robohiker. Review Purchase So I’m thinking…maybe it would help us on portages.

Great photo of the participants in the rain.

What is your ankle brace? My broken right ankle tends to roll on uneven surfaces.

This is what I wear: Merrell Moab These are my camp and portage shoes. There is a men’s version too. I’ve never found anything totally slip-proof. I spent a lot of time slipping, I mean walking, on wet rocks this summer. These “stuck” better than the water shoes or booties, when I used them.

Where is it? And I thought these things weren’t on display.

Google “mocha tea” and you will find lots to choose from, herbal and caffinated.

-I don’t like insulated mugs for coffee/hot chocolate in the morning. At least half the point of having a hot beverage in the morning is to warm up my fingers and nose.

Thanks! I’m paddled many times the upper Suwannee River. Below White Springs, it gets crowded with motor boats. What’s the motorized traffic on the Altamaha and the others you mention?

When I was in Indonesia and in Costa Rica I stepped into boats holding hands with the angels because they looked so unstable and overloaded. And what are the young people doing to the boat?

I am an avid reader and bringing books on canoe trips, even when I am trying to keep weight down, is essential. I've tried bringing a kindle or ipad, but then the battery runs down, or a nasty stick jumps out at me and flips the boat. So I bring actual paper print books. I limited myself to four...

Welcome. I’d like to hear more about the week long flat water trips, if you are so inclined.

It’s been a very long time since I paddled in the BWCA and haven’t itched to go back because of the reported crowds/reservations, etc. But maybe a fall trip, after Oct 1. I would take that under consideration.

Nice trip report. The rivers look similar to the lower section of the Buffalo River I ran back a few years. I’m jealous of the MR Guide. Lost mine in the divorce.

I have many mora knives. I typically carry on on me at all times, unless I am going into town. I forgot to take it off once, but no one noticed.

Nah, I know better than that.

This little guy was practicing cryptic coloration on the dirty rope. ;) Question Mark Butterfly, so named because of a tiny silver mark on the underside of the wings that could, with some imagination, look like a question mark.

This worked for me too. I was trying for making the “dinner” in the morning and finishing it off in the evening, and managed to do that a couple of times.

Exactly. Pool noodles, I saw that too in addition to the foam blocks on the car tops. When I started tripping, we just wrapped a foam pad, something like a yoga pad, around the yoke and sealed it all in with duct tape. I had forgotten that until the original boat was returned to me.

Thank you for your trip report. I enjoyed it and liked hearing from a state I have not paddled in. I’m in Florida and we have both of those nasty invisible killers too.

I just have some old butane powered ones.
