Not sure a boat like that is the best idea for a mature brand new paddler. I would start with something more sedate. I little more initial stability.

I knew of Alex and spent time at his web site before our trip when we were researching. I was sad to hear of his passing a few years ago. I have never been on a guided trip. Not interested in that. I am lucky to have a good friend that I trip with. He and I tend to put together of small group...

What a wonderful trip. I had the distinct pleasure and honor of experiencing a more truncated Thelon trip. We flew into a small lake on the Clarke, paddled down the Clarke to the Thelon, and then on down to Beverly where we ended our trip. Still, it was a magnificant trip with lots of...

I live in Vermont. I once drove up Lake Memphramagog in a power boat with my wife and three little kids. I was oblivious to the need to stop at the customs office. All of a sudden a fast Canadian flagged boat with a light pulled me over like a speeding car on the interstate. He ordered me in...

I just realized I never got back to this thread. Sorry! But, I ended up giving this to my son. So, its gone.

IMHO - Jason and Don are both weekend warriors. One is more introspective. The other is less introspective. Neither will likely make their lives living off the land in a harsh environment, but if they do they will most likely do so with other human beings, not alone, I am a weekend warrior too...

Please say hi to Norm. Tell him Rob Gerety will be back for another shuttle sometime in the near future. Norm is a great guy.

I wasn't aware Alex died. That is sad news. I never met him, but he had quite the reputation - wildlife biologist maybe? He used to pull pups out of wolf dens and play with them. YIkes! No, we have never used a guide on a trip. We do the best we can all by our lonesome. So far no casualties...

Sounds like a great trip. I have paddled the Thelon - via the Clarke. Take out at Beverly Lake. Also, the Horton. And the Wind in YK. Don't know that air service. I hope you can pull it off.

I enjoy what I call the Lobster trip. If you bring two vehicles in you can leave one at the take out on Chesuncook Lake, drive to the put in on Lobster Stream. Paddle into Lobster Lake for night one. Paddle out to the West Branch for night two, paddle down into Chessuncook for night three...

Its just a lot more fun when you paddle with friends. On big trips its too much money and energy invested to take a risk on the group. Picking the crew is the number 1 most important part of a trip.

Who did you hire for the flight? What trip are you planning?

I wonder what is going on in Yellowknife and Whitehorse this summer. Probably zero trips for anyone.

Yes, it is a difficult and sad time. Hope your 2021 plans work out. These are very hard times and we have yet to see the hit on the economy. Lots of unemployment. Its going to be a while folks. But, we will get there.

In Vermont our stay at home order was just extended through May 15, could go longer. Pretty tough to do social distancing on a canoe trip, no? No hotels or restaurants open. I guess it cold be done, but it would be tough and probably frowned upon by the department of health. Under our guidance...

I ended up with two of these and I want one to go to someone who will actually use it and take care of it. No reasonable offer refused. Its it great shape. Very little use. Nearly new condition. Original leather sheath included;.

SOLD: I have an Old Town Tripper XL in great shape. Dark green hull. Tan interior. Original ash thwarts and seat frames. Original web seats. Typical outside hull scratching. Kevlar stem plates in great shape. Stems show only very minor wear. The canoe was stored indoors all its life. Interior is...

Good ideas. Bloodvein is high on the list. I'm in touch with "Rambling Boy." He is active on the CCR forum.

My tripping mates and I are beginning to get pretty serious about a "pictograph quest" as we begin to drift into the "final phase" of our canoe tripping lives. It might turn into one trip - or maybe several trips -over the next few years. We all live in northern New England but we have done...

Is this boat still for sale?
