About 10 days away. Any further thoughts on a canoetripping.net get together? I'm staying at the Home2Suites if anyone wants breakfast company there.

It is a white powdery substance after all.

Nido is a basic for my canoe and backpacking trips. Walmart was going to be my suggestion. None in stores near me - maybe because I'm in Canadian border. :) More likely because of very small Hispanic population.

?? short description?

Buying it at Trader Joe's is so easy though. And so many other good things there to take camping. I have a bakepacker but honestly like my jello mold oven more. Crusty outsides and top. Cakes, muffins, biscuits, and even pizza - though a little calzone like. I did a trip with Chicago Red from...

Just read that they are speculating it will become permanent.

Very beautiful. I'm impressed. Unfortunately, well stocked on CCS and some Kondos at 72, so not planning on acquiring much new gear.

Once in a lifetime opportunity to paddle in Death Valley National Park. Right now - don't wait!

If by spray butter you mean I highly recommend upgrading to Trader Joe's ghee. Much better.

I think the BWCA solution is to overbook like airlines. Calculate the canceled and no shows, and adjust the quotas proportionately. Keep all deposits 30 days prior. Only release permits canceled more than 30 days. Basically quota max at popular entries.

I haven't done the Frost River. Solitude and wilderness are relative. In the Daks it's hard to travel but a few days without seeing civilization - buildings, vehicles, etc. - and you'll probably see people or lots of people at least Labor Day to Memorial Day. (I did the Osawegatchie fro inlet...

Not sure where you have paddled but for my money, it would be hard to beat Quetico if you like wilderness and near solitude. Like BWCA but a tenth or less of people in same area. Primitive camping but no real need to not use existing sites. Only downside is the permit price.

I lived in Chicago area and went to BWCA or Quetico each year. Moved to near Adirondacks for retirement. I have canoed some, not St Regis yet, but not at all the same. Entirely different. Much more streams than lakes. Longer portages - or carrys as called here. Tables, lean-tos, outhouses...

There's usually an RV show same weekend.

Registration opened. I signed up for two. (hard to find on website. from home page >NFCT SHOP>EVENTS>Waterway Work Trips to register; from home page >STEWARDSHIP>WATERWAY WORK TRIPS for description and details)

Yes it does, thank you. (Other one still does not.)

Am I the only one the link doesn't work for?

The Northern Forest Canoe Trail has just posted this summer's trips. Two years I've done these - 2 each year - and have really enjoyed them. Late Friday arrival, mid Sunday departure. Registration commences Monday. Based on past years, they are full within a few days, though I think there are...

No water, so no. The sponsor - Rutabaga - does but probably not till ice out.
