Life is short! I agree! Chip, I'm hoping to go to NH weekend of Dec21st plus other times. Tony, winter fishing! whoo hoo! Can we use our Pungo's? (Actually took a 6hr paddle leadership training class through their NY/NJ chapter yesterday) Thanks for sharing everyone...This site is great...

Why did I just buy another sleeping bag? Finally got a nice 0F down bag (Marmot) to use to go hiking/camping. I'm 53 y/o...had a knee replacement app 3 years ago. Probably need one for the other knee soon and I spent almost $400 :eek: on a lightweight bag. It seems that this fun hobby I...

Bear ate his food? Wonder how far he had to travel back to where he started? Weird...thanks for sharing.

What about the drummer? If you see SherpaK please tell him I said hello and if he could send ma a pm would like to send him my e mail. He will dig into me for the World Series win but that's ok. Have fun, wish I lived closer. Will raise a pint down here. there's live music friday night...

Chip, if you don't mind can you keep me updated on some of those weekends, thanks.

Hi Jay, hope all is well. Was a little hairy crossing over the Hudson, think it was because of the "iron" skillet! But to be honest I think adding weight to the boat kept in from bobing up and down, sorry for using that word Bob.

Bob, google Bannerman's Castle. It's across on the east side of the Hudson near West Point. JayH and I parked on your side somewhere, possibly further south of West Point and we crossed the Hudson to camp out near the castle. Also some people paddle around some of the marsh areas but it's...

Thanks guys...will see what happens over the next 6-9 months. Would really like to go on some type of 7-10 day journey. will keep you updated. Can only do last few weeks of August since my youngest will be off to college. I understand about the water levels, thanks again.

very sad, thanks for sharing...just another blunder by us humans

Might have spelled it wrong. I took out an AMC guide book about paddling some of it. Can anyone offer some advise or experience? Chip were you on this 10 plus years ago? Saw a write up on google that made me think of some vftt members on it around 2002? Friend told me to stick to the part...

Wow Chip! Great pics! Actually was thinking about you yesterday while cleaning the garage. Saw the cookie can firepit we used that snowy night. Would love to do something like that again in the future without having to drive 500 miles. keep me posted.

Very nice, I too have a pungo 120. After getting stuck in meandering turns on a trip one day with a 17ft kayak, I went to EMS and purchased the Pungo. Love it! Have packed it a few times for overnights on some easy waters in NJ and the ADK's. I now have 4 boats after 7 years and the Pungo is...

They sent me a few pics of their boats at an ADK gathering last summer, man, how nice do they look! I love the curled front and rear parts of their boats. Silly me I looked on their website at restored boats from the 1920's and 30's...some list for $3,000 and up....gotta be years of art work...

Just heard from the WCHA that the parts that I donated from the canoe (couldn't be restored) brought in app $600 from their auction. People will use them in their restoration projects. Glad I was able to help the WCHA. these folks also have some talents rebuilding canoes almost 100 years old...

About 65 miles north of NYC. Lots of birds, beaver dams, not a house was seen for app 6 miles. It's a watershed, river runs for 20 miles. We spotted cars and paddled North to South from Patterson to Brewster NY. Will go back for foliage. Hope the link works...

Nice to see teejay and other familiar faces. Dinner was very good at the campground, I recommend it. I paddled the Bouquet River Friday and it ends up in Lake Champlain with a wonderful view of Camel's Hump in Vermont. Had to leave early Saturday but took teejay's advise and drove to a...

Just picked up a mixed 6 pack of Long Island beer minus 1 but added a Captain Lawerence (sp?) teejay, I'm coming up with a boat but might be paddling the Saranacs early Sat morning. I'll do my best to get there early but don't wait for me. I can hopefully paddle on sunday before going back...

Done! Paddled the upper wood yesterday with my nephew Matt. Water was high enough for me to only scrap my kevlar boat a few times :eek: But the little bugs were out to get us. Luckily I carried my bug head net for those bad ocassions and this was one of those times. We pulled out at the...
