BIG thank you to Mr and Mrs Robin for putting me up for the night and a delicious dinner with a surprise spicy sausage thrown in with the meatballs and spaghetti. Plus a BIG thank you to Mr and Mrs Boatman53 (Jim) for putting me up also for the evening. I had real lobster and clam chowda...

I’m sitting on the ferry crossing over the Long Island Sound after a long drive in some pouring rain looking at Robin’s pictures just reading. It was a great trip that I waited over a year to go on and it was wonderful. As Robin drove my head was turning sideways just looking all around at...

No portages! Even helping each other to the carry. Jim, im using that map but look at trip report about the jo Mary’s. An AMC map is posted on the trip report.

Fritz, I’ve been trying to buy that “ unicorn “ tent for a while. Light weight is delicate and costly as you’ve probably seen already. So I picked up a lightweight Big Agnes tent for my portage trips ( few these days). I picked up an Alps 3 person from REI for those base camp trips. Think...

Did she really forget it or mentioned it in your sleep 2 days later? The penalty for that is a double present. We will certainly talk to you the day before. I’ll call. I’ll also leave some bagel crumbs in the water for a trail! Dr #1 done today. Next Dr on Monday and away I go!

Jim, let me know anything that we can do to help. Even if your out there for a short time.

Thanks YC, I’ll suggest it to Robin. Bob, enjoy family time. Ruttrowe, in a few years I will be able to go in September. Enjoy

Almost a week away and it’s looking like the Jo Mary’s. Feel free to join if your around. Will keep you updated in the next few days. Heard rainy and cool temps. A blessing compared to the heat and humidity that has blanketed the area.

Enjoy! Years back a guy sold me his uncles kayak for $112,50. Yes that was the price. I used it sparingly over a few years. Fixed up a few items like new foot pegs for rudder. Sold it for $1500. Boatman53 did some work for me. New owner was so excited. Just wish I could have used it...

Funny…..but also sad times for small stores in urban areas.

Wow! Very cool Jim! Guessing once you get tinkering there is no limit! Wonder if you can supersize it? My wife hates our stove/oven in the house. Hmmm🤔 do you make house calls?

Fantastic Brasenia! This area was mentioned to me last year and again this year. Your TR and video was amazing and eye opening. I wonder how the levels are there now? I posted a possible trip for there in about 3 weeks from now. Sorry I didn’t catch this TR back when you posted it. Did your...

Looking like the Jo Mary’s around August 17/18 for a few days. Will keep in touch as it gets closer. Please feel free to chime in with experience in those areas. Thanks

I tried the Amok and almost flipped back. I tried the Chameleon and sold it. I tried the Warbonnet XLC and sold it. I originally bought the Ridgerunner bridge since I’m a stomach sleeper but doesn’t work. Why I still have it I’m not to sure. I have the 20F Underquilt from Warbonnet also...

Best wishes YC. Sadly I can’t make it those dates. Happily our son is flying in from London for his 30th birthday on the 19th. Have fun. I did enjoy going there about 4 times.

As long as she has her wine I think she’s ok going. Bathrooms are important. I’m looking a picking up a Casita 17ft in the next 2 weeks and will plan our USA journey two years from now. Hopefully with the tandem and solo on the tow vehicle. Plus Canada tripping. Gonna need to google map the...

Thanks folks, sounds like the place to go. We can help each other with the portage if someone needs it. I’m not ashamed to ask for a helping hand. Learned how to make bannock so I’ll be the baker. Wonder about making bagels in the reflector oven. 🤔

Happy 4th!

Thanks.

I was hoping to go again this year. I think I went 2-3 times and up in Canada a few years ago. I can’t make it this final year there and am bummed out. Those Loon Works are nice. Are they all wood canvas?
