I guess I got a late start being about 40 or so but 31 years of paddling has been a lot of fun!!

I feel your pain, Chip. Last weekend I had a grey squirrel chew a hole in my critter proof (?), odor proof blue barrel. Not through the body, but through the edge of the lid and into the blue plastic. No food lost but it ruined the barrel. Regards, Dave

I love maps and charts. When I was a navigator on a ship I used to save the old charts when a new addition came out instead of throwing them away. They were all corrected manually and were usable. I kept them flat under my bunk mattress (rolling charts and maps is a no-no !). One dark and...

Can Greenfrog explain why his dog merits a PFD but his wife does not :)?

Doug, PayPal donation sent. Thanks for stepping up. Big shoes to fill. I have seen Robins feet so I know!!! Regards, Dave

Kayak Kens recommendation is a good one I have a similar set up in my canoe.

I ran into Dave Kruger in 2015. He was driving the Wenonah delivery truck that was making a delivery our local canoe and kayak shop.

Sounds like a good time was had by most. I was on LTL the last week in Sep for 3 nights on site 2 and it was flat calm for 4 straight days!! Luck of the draw. Regards to all, Dave

Pringles, ​Thanks for the TR. Do you still keep a website going with your trip reports? I lost track of it as it seemed you were no longer posting there. I enjoyed going thru your adventures. regards, ​Dave

Nice video. I have never seen the water that low between the dams. regards, Dave

Actually I find the Pax a bit boring. The campsites are nice though.

Glenn, The MH stuff will be fine. A recent story is that guys at the MH processing plant opened some that were over 30 years old, tested and then ate them. They were as good as the day they were made. I believe they no longer put expiration dates on the packages, just manufacturing dates...

Welcome from another Marylander! Camping at the backcountry sites at Assateague is nice in the off season when the bugs are gone. The Patuxent River also has paddle - in campsites (reservations required). Both require that you pack in your fresh water as there are no sources available. Have fun...

Enjoyed watching that. Nice to see what fellow Canoetripping members are doing when they aren't tripping. Thanks for finding and posting, Robin. Regards, ​Dave

My wife posted two pictures on her facebook page one day: one of me and one of the dog. The dog got twice as many likes as I did!! It still smarts to think about it!! Ragards, 2nd place Dave

I have never seen the bottom interior finished like that. Was that common with particular builders or is that as unusual as it looks? Maybe it was an owner modification.

Hi Chip, ​What part of the Pax were you on?

Pretty much all Wenonah canoes offered today have symmetrical rocker (those that actually have rocker!) and with few exceptions have asymmetrical sheer lines.

A couple of us try to get a 3 day paddle in there between the closures and Christmas. I just got summoned for jury duty (federal court) for the month of December so I might not make it this year. Mike is right- this is the best time to camp in the Assateague backcountry.

Robin ​What creek was it that you paddled up with the beaver dams?? Was that the connecting creek from Horseshoe Lake? Dave
