Drag and drop from my PC. I was able to adjust the image size manually by using the 4 way arrow icon described by Paddling Pitt and Alan. The second image is drag and drop from PC. I did not adjust it manually. It seems that adding pics is a pretty simple procedure from the methods I've...

This image was cut and pasted from my Flkr account without using any of the forum tool icons. I’m still on my iPhone. On my pc, I would normally copy the url on Flkr and paste it in the old vbulletin message pane. Will try that tomorrow.

Same picture I previously posted and this time the forum automatically resized from 6.8mb and it didn’t auto rotate it on its side.

I can log in with Pc windows 10 and iPhone. I cannot open the website with iPadOS 14.7.1. Safari error was “Too many redirections.”

I’m on iPhone and couldn’t post original size at 6.8mb. Size in post above is large on my phone (900kb). It inserted sideways and I wasn’t able to rotate it. First attempt for me. barry

Good luck recped! that’ll be a great story to find your boat and recover it. I doubt that would happen here in the US. See everybody “on the mains” in a week or so! Cheers, Barry

Here’s a 16’ prospector with my 13 month old dog at 72#. I’m sitting in the bow seat. Other than the cooler there’s not much other weight in the boat. Even with the dog it’s still a tad light up front.

I paddle a 16’ x 35” w canoe often and almost always from the bow seat as you describe. I usually have a 75# dog up front for ballast. When she’s not with me, I have to move to the middle and it gets to be relatively harder to handle due to the width. In that position maybe you could heel the...

Looks really good Patrick! I really dig the paddles too. I have some cherry R. Kettlebell and Fishell paddles and considering a similar paddle with that Northwoods style grip. The bigger the lake the slower my prospector goes and it’s nice to change up the grip while paddling. I guess the...

I’m all for the migration of the site vs. anything that would cause a loss of the archives. I review a lot of past tech when making repairs, planning trips, and I still need to take time to make a a blue barrel table for both the 30L and 60L. I dont’ think I’d bother signing back up at this...

I have a Stewart river with Dacron covering. I have done a few 13 day trips with it and didn’t notice it getting any heavier from water absorption. It’s painted with Epifanes 23 I think. It would be terrible to have to go through what Dogbrain describes with stuck together parts if you needed to...

Can the IT guy guarantee they can rescue Mcrea and restore his former glory? Cause right now I’m putting together a solo expedition to paddle/hike south from Altoona to find him but I have limited vacation days. I have one more round of food to dehydrate and I’m outta here. cheers barry

Awesome. that doesn’t sound like its too crowded considering the time of year. Raquette River Outfitters suggested I wait to late September or October. This works for me because I try to avoid the heat and bugs. The boat is a 16’ prospector and 35” wide if I recall. Probably a bit slower...

Patrick, The Whitney Loop, like the St Regis area is rated a 10 on the wilderness scale in Dave Cilley's book Adirondack Paddlers' Guide. I find the book and his map to be great resources for planning trips up there. I figure the wilderness rating is relative to ADK trips only. I've never...

Sweet! Looks like a great time. Looking to do the Whitney Wilderness loop this fall. I am told there may be low water between Lows upper and lower dam do to dam issues so maybe cut the trip back some. I too like to slow down on portages and stop earlier or leave later each day and SLOW DOWN...

While I prefer to paddle, I also do a lot of day hiking with a 45# pack. Here in my area there are no flat hikes and a lot of elevation change. Traditionally I would stop every 5 miles or so and have granola bars or cliff bars and that was OK. About a month ago or so i was at Sheetz getting some...

I live about 30 minutes North of the Turnpike (Bedford Exit) and I only get on the turnpike if the tolls are billable to a project. I was surprised that PA takes top honors. I hit the Dulles Toll Road in VA a lot and always thought it was pricey. Going to Minnesota I always thought I was...

S.O.B!!! I never gave the pop tops a second thought but now i can’t unread Chip’s thread. All my wood oil, Japan dryer, and solvents are in those pesky cans. Those got to go! I think Alan’s right about 1gallon cans. Might have to start rooting in the recycle center bins on my recycling run...

In my 16’ Bell, there was a thwart immediately behind the bow seat which you won’t have to deal with. I had to remove it so I can paddle it backwards and don’t notice any added flex. I occasionally remove the front seat for more dog room, but it is so infrequent that I do as Alsg describes...
