    POLL: How do you pronounce portage?

    I use "carries" as well, most of my canoeing is in the adarondacks. Then would be pour tij. What do new englanders call this exercise? For example the north forest canoe trail? You got me on that one, I thought it was a cigarette?

    What races are you paddling in 2025?

    Another Toxic Train Situation in Ohio

    Very sad, sorry to hear that. Homo sapiens are homo sapiens biggest enemy ( my attempt at pc-ness). I feel bad for places like the moon and Mars, we are in the process of formulating grand ideas for them.
