    Video Link of 1914 Regatta at Dayton Canoe Club

    We recently "unearthed" some old video's of the Dayton (Ohio) Canoe Club. To me, the most interesting was 4:00 minutes of professional (back then) footage shot of the DCC's second Regatta in 1914. This is significant, because the city was still rebuilding from the "1913 Flood". In the...

    Update on Luca, aka: "Big Dawg"

    I've made several posts over the last few years about our adopting Luca from a rescue. At the time, the rescue had no paperwork on him or his 5 other littermates. They received the litter from another rescue and one volunteer heard from another volunteer that the mother of the litter may...

    I just took a peak at Hemlock Canoes website and they recently posted a bunch of used boats I assume either taken in on trade or consignment with possibly a few of their own demos. Quite a few solos. Hemlock Canoe used boats Mike

    Bees Arrived!

    I ordered two packages of bees back in January, they arrived this past week. Placed them into hives after work with the help of my daughter. I haven't had any hives for a couple of years. The last hive disappeared on me while I was out of town. What does this have to do with canoeing...

    Backyard trailcam

    I picked up a new trailcam on clearance at Menards a couple of days ago. My buddies and I have joked about bringing one on trips with us to see what wanders thru our camp at night while we are asleep. I set it up in my backyard last night aimed at our bird feeders. Our dog Luca goes nuts...

    The Dayton (Ohio) Canoe Club.....Last one standing

    I joined the DCC a couple of years ago after getting a tour of it.....I thought people here might enjoy hearing a little bit about it.....I will upload some recent photos from my phone as I get time.... I'm kind of embarrassed to say I had been driving/running/walking/biking/paddling by it...

    Any new "Toys" for Christmas?

    Earlier in the year, my wife brought home a couple of new cook books from the library. The first was "Flour,Salt, Water, Yeast" by Ken Forkish. In a nutshell, he quit the corporate life years ago and became a very successful (after a lot of study/work) Artisan baker in Portland, Oregon. He...

    Saw a post on Instagram the other day on a "daily special" from a restaurant in Grand Marais, MN for "Wild Rice Burgers".....I've seen them on the menu before at various restaurants up North, but never had one.....had plenty of soups and chowders though. The picture on Instagram looked pretty...

    Made some camp bread this weekend!

    A simple 4 ingredient loaf of white bread. After all the talk about Fry-Bakes in the other thread in the kitchens section as well as seeing the John Favreau bread baking episode of the "Chef Show" on Netflix, I got the itch to make a loaf. I cheated.....I used a porcelain lined Dutch in the...

    Finally got Luca out in a canoe!

    Some of you may remember my post last year about our "rescue" puppy Luca. The vet at the rescue and our vet once we got him home both felt that he would top out at 40-45 pounds.....they were both wrong! He is now about 90 pounds! He is a great dog......He just doesn't like to get wet. I...

    Quiet Water Symposium, Lansing MI.

    Has anyone been to this Symposium before? I am thinking of going this year, it's March 2nd. I have never been before, but have been told that it is very similar (only much smaller) to "Canoecopia" in Madison, Wisconsin. I attended Canoecopia a few years ago and really enjoyed it. A buddy...

    Bald Eagles in Dayton, Ohio

    Up until about 10 years ago, Bald Eagles were non-existent in my area. The last documented nesting pair in the Dayton area disappeared about 80 years ago. Three rivers (Great Miami, Mad, and Stillwater) as well as a large Creek (Wolf) merge together in the middle of our city to form the...

    Gas prices

    My F-150 typically only gets driven on the weekends as during the week I drive a work car. The truck has a 36 gallon tank and unless I'm traveling, only gets filled once a month. Gas prices in my area are currently $1.99-$2.01 a gallon and one gas station about 10 miles away was advertising...
