...at one time the choice was limited, now it's sky high with all kinds of makes and models. The same goes for paddles and accessories. So much to choose from and so little time to experience it all. to the Langford and beyond

Wow..that's a story and a half. One can appreciate the circumstance and reasons why you might feel uncomfortable around water. I on the other hand love it. Though I do follow the safety stuff carefully and insist those with me do the same. Things can go wrong quickly without warning. That's...

...double treat for me. Excellent recording of their trip to the Allegheny AND then Algonquin Park. I have to admit that I identified with the Algonquin experience more readily than Allegheny. For one thing I've done that route a 100 times or more AND the canoe they used is the kind that I...

...officially it is 42 pounds and even now it is light as a feather when I have to portage it. The keel is most helpful for tacking but when there are two of us in my canoe it doesn't make a lot of difference. It all boils down to usage and style. There are some mighty fine models on the river...

Thanks for the info - really appreciate that. I've certainly seen them around and may have been a tad tempted. As you know I have a 16 foot Souris Rive ultra light Kevlar Prospector canoe than carries 900 pounds. It doesn't have a keel and so when the winds pick up it can be a challenge...

@killeroy154 ...I noticed that sweeper to the right in your video and the current moving quickly past it. I live fifteen minutes walking distance from the Grand River and it has noticeably changed in the last few weeks. Like parts of the United States - Ontario, Quebec and the Eastern Provinces...

NATIONAL POLICE WEEK IS COMING UP TO THE FAITHFUL MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVE AND PROTECT IN ANY JURISDICTION OR REGION... thank you for what you do and for the valuable service you perform in the care and security of the people. and to the 237 RCMP officers who have lost their lives in service...

The three Loons - or as I already posted, "KBN" Amigos. And you never know.:)

----->I've had the problem too - it's maddening when you can't correct it. You are in good company.

AND WHAT ABOUT THIS IDEA.... LOS GLACIARES NATIONAL PARK IN ARGENTINA CELEBRATES ANOTHER ANNIVERSARY The park’s northern boundary is a cluster of soaring, sharp-toothed peaks, including the forbidding Mt. Fitz Roy. Dominating the southern stretch is the awe-inspiring Perito Moreno...

-----> :) Luv's it; :thumbsup: I'm already a patient of Doctor Red Maple and Nurse Tamarack. I have a therapist Doctor Weeping Willow.

Agree. The first thing I want to know is, "What kind of tests?" It's one thing to fill a cooler up with ice and leave it in a cool place for fourteen days and it is another to use ice and open the cooler three or four times everyday for fourteen days. I have used dry ice with considerable...

Both cameras take video and I will be experimenting more this year. I sure would like to improve the quality of the videos that I have on the various threads. I have enough battery power to shoot for the whole summer and I just might do that. :)

-----> I was drooling as I looked at your photos Bibsoutdoors and they sure reminded me of where I wanted to be. Funny that - no matter where the picture is taken somehow we identify with it in some way.

Great stuff! I sometimes enjoy the photos more than the articles. I'm just shooting for the enjoyment. The beach is nice and sandy as well as the swimming area proper. I'm not sure I'll get into the water unless it heats up mighty quickly. On this side of the beach (not seen) is the canoe...

FOOD COOLERS This is one piece of equipment I do not have. Yes I do have a picnic cooler but I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about a Camp Cooler. I read about this cooler and would be interested to learn about other people's experiences with coolers in general. Not picnic coolers - I...

It's just good to get out and relax. If we waited for the perfect time or perfect weather we could waste our time forever. Your dog has the right idea - smart. I'm now preparing in earnest for my first crack being outdoors for a longer period of time. I'll be away for three weeks beginning...

...it's great stuff isn't it? This outdoor pursuit that we have. Now that my career is beginning to wind down I'm planning to take full advantage of the undisturbed time.

I'm not usually a drinking man. But every now and then I like to make a toast to friends and colleagues. To you and to all our Camping Babblers - A summer filled with joy and pleasure, peace and happiness, sunshine and gentle showers, and abundance of life.
