Jdeerfoot, my coteacher has family up in Iron Mountain. I went with him a few years back to visit the area, lovely. He took me to buy chocolate from the Monks somewhere. Waiting line was 15 min long. I hope to get back there and go to Isle Royal. Be well.

Yes Glenn, very confusing life here. Wife loves NY area plus her doctors. I am tired of driving 11/2 hours to travel only 25 miles with the “zoomers” cutting me off. But our son wants to relocate to Brooklyn from London in a few years so wife wants back then. Plus my 95 yo mom is busting my...

The Indian's eggs were both colorful and yummy. Little dusting of snow Saturday night.

The Indian and I both had off a few days from school for the holiday and we donned the drysuits on and found open water. We usually do a yearly winter campout or an April/May paddle so with the warm weather and ice out in may sections we planned both! Parked at Axton Landing and paddled...

Rack on. Ordered the “Bull’s Ring” for tie downs. Going tripping this weekend NY ADK’s. 😁

Cool picture Glenn, you must have seem some great games over the years at UConn. Nice. I grew up near St Johns and got to see a few games in Alumni Hall early/mid 80's. I missed the Mullin/ Ewing games because they were always at the Garden but saw a good ones with other players. I moved...

Hi Drew, it was my first burn. Took a while for me to buy it. Saw a few friends over the years using it then I finally decided. Yep, bought the SS one. I didn’t cut the pieces short enough but will do so the next time. I have 3 small wood burning stoves. I really cheap $20 titanium one from...

Thank you guys for coming to my “aid”. Sorry silly humor. I totally appreciate it. Like most city folk and some serious rock and roll concerts I did fail certain hearing tests in the early 2000’s. My wife needs to cover her ears when I put the tv volume up. But like UCanoe_2 she continues...

Robin, that's so sad to hear about those passing. Small ponds by your house is perfect with adults there for safety.

Hi Snapper, interesting angle of the sun in the winter. Our side never got direct sun and had snow, but 100 ft behind us it was melting. Hope you had fun, the Indian was cross country skiing by Heart Lake last weekend, cold. brrrr...hope to see you soon again. be well

Glenn, can you offer more info about your "bagged chair" sounds nice.

Good thread, now it depends what boat I’m using. Haha. Chair is a must. I was using that tri pod to sit on but you know how that feels after a while. Just bought a big agnes light weight chair, bigger than the helinox that I can’t get out of. Bigger tent, alps mountaineering. I Like cooking...

Needed to go outdoors, been 2 years, finally some cold/cool weather, no rain and school vacation! Big pond in Catskills has a few walk in primitive sites. Parking lot good for 10 cars. People ice fishing over there. Perfect for my laziness and bringing as much as the truck can hold! Temps in...

Finally some snow here 30 miles east NYC, heavy and wet. App 4-6”

So far not fun, but luckily presidents week coming up soon here in NY and the temps are dipping with maybe 4-7" of snow predicted. Going to get the Snowtrekker out after 2 years ( missed because of knee replacement, recalled last year) and check out some Western Catskills and Columbia county...

Nice, would love to go tripping with her. Man, 3 - 4 weeks just chilling, soon, soon. Thanks for sharing a great 3 minutes with a Maine guide.

Sold. Sad to part with it, great memories. Wishing the new owner future great memories.

I picked up the 60” Thule bars with attachments ( not the ones for the naked roof which I already knew) for $100. Great price, seller was generous. But the 2 plus hour drive back home (only 50 miles) on the Merritt parkway in CT was horrible. Save myself some $ but I lost more years in the...
