If ChatGPT doesn’t get your question, you need to provide more information. Apparently there are many Dana Grover’s in the world. Here is my question and answer: My question: Dana Grover, a male canoe maker. Information please ChatGPT said: Good question. I found a few credible...

Megiscane - Day 4 I got up early this morning, energized by visions of actually starting this trip. I would gather all my bags together, get them in the canoe and finally get this trip going. I realized this would take a couple of hours, but I was keen to get on the water. My stuff was spread...

I love the language of his explanation.

I ordered things from Early Winters. I loved their catalogs. Personally, I’d be afraid to use a flame inside the tent. I’m just too cluttered or clumsy. But I love the look. I’ve used them in off grid cabins and sometimes in my home when the power goes out.

Welcome. Do you have trip reports or pictures from any or all of those rivers. I’d love to see them.

And right now it’s only about $4.49. I think you can start with any of the books. There’s no required reading order.

I’ve read all four of his books. I particularly like the communication and coordination exhibited by these two intrepid paddlers. I’m also partial to the botany, the walking they did, working out the challenges they faced, their appreciation for the far north. These books are not thrillers...

Me too.

I can’t watch freestyle without thinking of alligators. It took more than two weeks in Québec before I stopped worrying about gators in the water. It just becomes automatic. That said, it was a fun video to watch. What class and grace on the water.

That is super cool. Thank you for sharing. Thanks to yknpdlr and kahel for helping me get there.

I just looked up - the website says you can camp anywhere you want without a reservation, except the reserve campgrounds of course. That makes is more attractive if you prefer not to have to reserve a camp in advance and then follow a schedule. Looks interesting.

Welcome.

I have no idea to find the location on google earth.

The refurbished chair is superbly beautiful, Robin.

Americans over 65 need fishing licenses in all the provinces I’ve paddled in. In Florida we still need a license, but it is free. Everyone can fish in salt water from the shore without a license.

Thank you. I think we all miss you.

I used to live in central New York but I did very little canoeing in that state. Mostly white water like the Hudson and in VT, the Battenkill. We drove up to Quebec at that time in my life. I have to admit reading trip reports from the ADK here makes me want to go back. But there are so many...

Great and informative trip report. Thank you. I’ve always been drawn to Sparkleberry Swamp because of its delightful name. I’m not sure why they are called “sparkle” berry. It is a relative of blueberry and the berries are edible, but they don’t sparkle. Please don’t anyone eat berries unless...

My experiences are much like Alan’s. ChatGPT gives me more focused and specific answers than does google. I may have to sort through dozens of entries in google, whereas ChatGPT answers directly. Of course I have to read more or check sources if it is something critical, but I’d have to do...

I enjoyed the video. Thank you dutchlennart. I love the song. I’ve never heard it before. I’ve not been tempted to paddle with the lean putting the gunwale so close to the water. There’s alligators in that water where I paddle.
