    Tangle Lakes - Delta River - Alaska Canoe Route - Day 2

    I still have Grayling in the freezer from a paddle on the lakes to where you caught yours last September. But ... I haven't continued into the river on any of several solo camping/paddling trips to the Tangle Lakes/Denali Highway. Brad

    Thinking of a Slight Site Change

    A color change (like, to a darker blue) might be alright, but the color contrast (vs black) is more pleasing and appealing visually. Brad

    Hello from Alaska!

    Welcome Nomad - from Homer. Hope to cross your path on the Swan Lake or Swanson River canoe trails - or in a kayak on the Kachemak Bay Water Trail. Brad

    T-Shirts Revisited

    Too many boats

    Just another day or two, Steve. My son & I are headed for Swan Falls Reservoir this morning for his first paddle in his "new" Nova Craft Prospector 17 - I'll paddle my Sandpiper. We're in Kuna, just outside Boise - are you close? Brad

    Too many boats

    Oh boy, Steve: "Hoarding. You have multiple copies of same boat, and no one to paddle them simultaneously." Two Wenonah Sandpipers, one still waiting for gunwale replacement, a Peterson Bros square stern w/c in need of LOTS of work, 7 more canoes sitting in the racks (not even counting...

    Good Morning Canoe Folks!

    Welcome, Vern Perhaps we can connect when I get back from an annual trip to the Ozarks. I keep looking at the Swift and Rosarito Rivers in the Yukon as I drive by wondering about shuttles... Brad

    Ice Out Predictions

    As I attempt to travel south through British Columbia (2nd delay, today) I see some open water on the bigger rivers (e.g., the Frasier here in Prince George) but smaller rivers and most lakes still have a cover - that continues to grow - of nice, clean white snow. And the locals are saying they...

    My new life

    Nice going, Alan! I may have a near match - mountain/ocean view, no mortgage, good friends - even moose and cranes in the yard in season. Brad

    Willamette River, Oregon

    Lots of information available re:the Willamette River Water Trail - check it out! The Santiam is also paddled, but can be more of a challenge than the Willamette. Lots of other paddling opportunities in the Pacific Northwest, including British Columbia. Brad

    Passing the time of day .. conversations with other paddlers

    Serendipitous experience: I'm at a gas pump somewhere in central Missouri, with two canoes on my Jeep. Fella walks out of the convenience store, saunters over and looks at the boats, turns to me and says, "I'm headed to the Spring Ozark Canoe Rendezvous - join us!" And i did! I'm going back...

    What is better for few days on the river, waterproof bag or barrel?

    No options in many NPS locations in bear country - NPS-approved canisters are now required, and the list of approved canisters is fairly short! State parks in bear country are also adopting the NPS canister requirement, so check the regs before outfitting...

    Alaska Paddlers ?

    Got a few days for an Adirondack-like paddle trip? Either the Swan Lake or Swanson River Canoe Trails can be good for anything from an overnighter to a week's plus trip. Designated Wilderness areas, no fees or permits required, one outfitter in Sterling if you don't have your own boat(s)...
