I would add one vendor to Recped's list - Good-to-Go. They're mostly vegetarian and I found their meals to be very good.

I've read this report twice and it was as much fun the second time as the first. What a beautiful area and I'm thankful for people like you and the Downeast Lake Land Trust for keeping it up and making it available. I'm not a craftsman like Robin is but your canoe caught my attention. A very...

Robin, It sounds real comfortable and on top of that, maybe I'll be able stop hanging out in front of the dollar store and saying inappropriate stuff to young woman. Bob

There are a lot place mentioned and they all sound good or really good. I guess I like it right where I live, Windham, Maine. Although it now gets dark pretty early I can easily go canoe any time I want and on all sorts of nice lakes, ponds, the ocean or rivers. I choose where I live now...

I have a Morningstar in the same layup as Tsuga8's and I also have been thinking of putting a center seat to use it as a solo. It's asymmetrical design make me hesitant to paddle reversing the canoe. I'm not sure where or how to determine where to place a center seat? I'm tall 6'8" so reach...

I've forgotten the bad ones, but the good ones I remember. The best one was on Sturgeon Lake (Quetico PP) looking across to Scripture Island, but I can't find a picture. Another really nice one was on the Blood Vein River (Woodland Caribou PP) and I attached a picture. Both had everything a...

Interesting about Memaquay's experience, I have a Souris River Prospector that was hit by a snowplow, same process, but I sort of hammered the gunwales back in shape. I did put several layers of kevlar in the midsection of the canoe and it looks good and it's strong. So Tryin' I think you can...

Mine - no imagination I guess

I found the site, I think from a post on another forum where Yellow Canoe mentioned the site. I like all the different subjects covered.

That plane brings back memories - flew on it at least twice. Great memories of past trips.

I've enjoyed this topic. The last long trip I did I was exhausted at the end of the trip. It was before the virus and it was a trip in Woodland Caribou. I told myself that was it, no more, too hard. But recently I have been dreaming of a trip to Quetico, nothing hard just a nice trip. The...

One of my children has a Northwind solo. He took it with my brother and I on a two day trip. He's about your size and weight. I was very impressed that he kept up with us in our tandem canoe which I think is fairly fast. We had heavy wind and he seemed to handle it well.

I had a Tripper for many years. I carried it on many painful portages. It was unbelievable how much gear it could carry, which also was painful to carry. I found that if it didn't have enough weight in it, it could be a little tippy. If the seats are lowered the primary stability is better...

I did the portage in May several years ago. I brought a cart and found it too wide for the area with planks. I would not bring a cart again. The biggest mistake I made was assuming I could use a cart and not planning how I was going to carry my gear, which made the portage much harder than it...

The last canoe trip I took I was pulling a heavy pack out of my canoe and felt sort of a tear. At first it didn't hurt but as the trip progressed it became painful carrying anything and walking up steep inclines. After the trip I had it repaired using the mesh type surgery. The surgery and...
