I read those remarks about the seat falling out of the tracks before buying and that was one of the first things I took a closer look at. After paddling a few hours, I really don't see any problem under normal conditions. It seems to me that you would have to work at it to make it fall out. The...

I was in the market for a solo canoe last summer and after a lot of research had narrowed by choices down between a Hornbeck and a Old Town NEXT. Having had two back surgeries and multiple surgeries on both legs, I went with the NEXT because of the seat and being able to get in and out easily...

Very nice report and pics. The Clarion River is very popular with a lot of people. The fishing can be very good at the right time of the year. After Memorial Day it can be very crowded.

Welcome Shannon, Glad you could join us, looking forward to your posts.

YC, Very interesting looking. I would sure like to experience a week or so exploring country like that. Looking forward to your trip report when you get back.

This might turn out to be something good for me. Now it may force me to go to some of the other places I always say I'd like to try but never do. Recently, I find myself looking at Maine a lot more. Maybe this is the year.

Getting out early was my plan also but life got in the way and held me up. Between the crowds and blackflies I think I can handle the blackflies better.

Thanks for the update. I'm headed up that way Monday. I couldn't decide where to go, and since I haven't been to LTL in years maybe I'll check it out. You didn't mention any blackflies so I'm taking that as a good sign.

memaquay- I haven't installed the stove jack yet. I'm trying to decide where I want the stove. Robin- Right now I'm using center poles. This way I only have the canvas and two telescopic poles to transport. I'll see if it works OK, if not I'll try using an internal frame. For such...

I have been wanting to extend my camping season so I took advantage of a 10x14 canvas tent gifted to me from my cousin. His old tent was unusable with some rotten spots in it, but I was able to get enough good canvas to make this 6x7x6 high wall tent. I tried to make it as light as possible...

I'm really looking forward to it, I've had the date circled since I read about it this Winter. Hope we have good weather.

Nice looking outfit. Congrats

Enjoyed the video with my coffee this morning, thanks for posting.

Love college hockey (y) Two great teams tonight, should be a exciting game.

Welcome to our little group from the Pine creek valley of Penna. Glad you could join us

After Mum and Dad passed away I was cleaning out the old house and found this old deed to our farm located in Fayette County, which is located in SW Penna. about 35 miles from the "forks" latter know as Pittsburgh. Looking very close you can make out the land was transferred in 1790 from the...

Welcome, glad you could join us. UP great place to retire.

yknpdlr This is good information; I did not know regulation concerning tents inside lean to. What is considered "immediately in the vicinity of a lean-to site"? Are these rules posted anywhere so people can read them?

I can't be positive, but that looks very similar to the canoe I built in the basement of my dorm while I was in college. That was a long time ago (1968?) I can't remember all the details about the canoe. All I can remember is I saw a "build your own" canoe ad in the back of Outdoor Life. The...
