    Felt safe until now

    Motels are known to rent rooms to hard drug users and sellers, yeah, they can be bad. Don't go to the cheaper ones, and for heavens sake gas up before you pass through a major city.

    Felt safe until now

    Talking about feeling out of place, this reminds me of an urban camping related experience I once had. I accompanied my wife on a business trip to Los Vegas and we decided to stay in the area and do some camping afterward. It happened when we were standing in front of the hotel on a crowded...

    Underwear

    I used to like my home made burlap underwear. They would make you forget about all your other physical ailments, plus when they were new, they smelled like coffee.;)

Following are some of the ones that effect my decision: Blade size and shape Boat size seat hight tandem or solo conditions (wind) how much of a load you have goals, is it a leisure paddle or do you need to make time...

    As far as driving through a big city, if you fear more than the traffic, maybe your a little paranoid. A little advice for when leaving your vehicle at a trailhead or put in is not to leave anything that has value or may appear to have value in plain sight. I wouldn't even leave a bag with my...

    Rutabaga Paddlesports in Madison, Wisconsin, is Closing (NO - Staying Open)

    I feel bad for his employees. If he sold the business at least they would have had a chance to keep their jobs.

    They look even better when there is a mushroom on the scene, and there’s plenty more where this came from

    I just reread it. That's assuming he has an InReach but left it in camp.

    If you don't have an InReach, how will someone follow you? Nice photo of the bear.

    This is from yesterday evening in Pa. A few minutes before and after there was nothing. Sunsets at this latitude don't last very long compared to in Ak. where the can last for hours.

    A New Challenge: Cats in a Canoe?

    My cats are very non threatening. They were my Moms and she had them declawed when kittens. I think not having those weapons made them more docile. Unfortunately I don’t think they kill any mice. I’ve caught many in traps since I’ve had the cats but never found a dead mouse.

    I’ve always been a little nervous in the bush after watching “Deliverance” I would think you can minimize the risk with a portage or two.

    Great TR so far. I like that you included the amount of time along with distance covered. You averaged almost 2.7 mph which I think is very good, especially with that hull. You must not have taken many breaks, if any, and I wondered if you had a tailwind. I'm a Costco chicken expert. I get two...

    Eagle Eats Great Blue Heron

    I considered that Tom, and a quick google search confirmed it. It's not even legal to have a blue jay feather I've found a lot of dead stuff including a bald eagle and a manatee, and knew enough not to take parts of those.

    Eagle Eats Great Blue Heron

    Thinking about this a little it may have been an opportunity the eagle couldn't pass up. The eagle has the habit of roosting in the trees almost right behind where the kill took place. He goes back in the trees where you can't see him, I assume to rest or sleep. It's possible that when the heron...
