    Happy Birthday, Jack Kerouac (1922-69)! ✍🏻📖🛣️

    Jack Kerouac spent a summer at a fire lookout in the North Cascades in Washington State. Many of his works were inspired by his stay. There is a trail that can be accessed from Ross Lake that leads to the lookout. I have been on Ross twice, but have not made the hike. I guess that means I need...

    Happy Birthday, Jack Kerouac (1922-69)! ✍🏻📖🛣️

    I have done two trips on Ross Lake in the Northern Cascades. I still haven't hiked to the Desolation Peak. Each time something came up that changed our plans. Desolation Peak (Washington) - Wikipedia https://share.google/iqjMuiJinzMD6obxb

    It really is a great design. I wonder what boats in current production are comparable? I would guess the Advantage is one. Any others?

    Bell Wildfire Information

    Thank you to everyone for there input. It appears to have some modifications at some point. If it was closer, I would check it out in person. I will probably just watch it for now. Maybe he will drop the price. I do frequently go to the Puyallup/Tacoma area . If it hangs around, I may try to...

    Bell Wildfire Information

    https://www.facebook.com/share/1H2YvHGgPw/ I have a couple of questions about this canoe. Do the air chambers look original? Does the aluminum gunwales look original? Is this Bell's Fiberlar lay-up? I am kind of interested, but it would be a 4-5 hour drive each way. Any other information...

I did see a group that brought 2, 12' - 14' aluminum boats and 4 stroke outboards. It looked miserable loading them on the truck. If...

    Sigg-Tourist

    I picked this up at a thrift store today. It did not come with a SVEA 123 stove. Had anyone tried one with a modern backpacking stove like a Pocket Rocket?
