Agreed. I apologies for the lack of detail. It was a late evening post :) Yes. I rented my gear from Algonquin Outfitters at their Oxtounge Lake location. AO's staff was super friendly and helpful. The gear was heavy duty, with an emphasis on heavy, but that is to be expected since it is rental...

Just a quick followup. In short, Algonquin was superb. What a gem. I only had four days and three nights, but I am sure I will be back for more. I rented all my gear from a well known local outfitter, and I found their service outstanding. Getting my gear to the starting point was a snap. The...

Quick update: Last weekend, we went to Ahjumawi Lava Springs, between Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lassen. About 6,000 acre lake with several natural springs where water from underground lava caverns enters the lake to the tune of several million gallons a day! A lot of the lake looks like pea soup in the...

Thanks, Glenn!. A good list of rivers for sure. I have done Noyo and Big River (day trips) and also the Albion with its river cabins. Big river tidal influence and wind can make paddling "downstream" a real chore :). The other two are easy paddling and get wild quickly.

Thanks, Steve. We visited my wife's uncle in Sand Point a while back. Pend Oreille Lake is near and the same named river. Do you have any experience with either? We did boat Priest Lake which was great fun.

And here I was, thinking Mike is crazier than I thought or he has a serious need for thrill and paddles out over some dam-wall till his but is suspended over 100' of nothingness. Than I thought about how you would even do that without falling...and my mind was off in a totally wired direction...

There once were, maybe still are, a couple of paddle in island sites on Waldo, and a bunch of lake front NFS car camping sites. Waldo is special, and peculiar, and worth a visit, if only for the “Oh F%$&” sensation of paddling out over the abrupt drop off and suddenly looking at stuff on the...

You guys are AWESOME!!! :). Got my homework cut out for me now. Tons of cool ideas. Thank you all! P.S. I have indeed considered Tahoe Water Trails. I love the lake but it is quite crowded. I was looking more for someplace away from people.

Thanks, Glenn. Your's is the only response I have gotten so far. Either there aren't many west coast paddlers on the forum, or multi-day opportunities, as described, are even more sparse than I thought :)

Good morning dear esteemed Canoe Tripping members! I live in Northern California, and any multi day trips around here are pretty much limited to the Sacramento River. I am not aware of any such flat water opportunities at all...well, other than circumnavigating the 350ish mile Lake Shasta...

I don't do much WW, but what rivers I do paddle, I prefer straight shaft paddles. Mainly because I feel I am quicker with the strokes I need because I don't have to think about which face of the paddle to use. Probably just a practice thing. A friend of mine does WW II and up more or less...

This forum is a great place to spend time away from the office, the day-to-day, facebook, politics, mean people, news shows, mother in law...etc. and a great place to dream about sitting by a crackling campfire, the next canoeing season, plan an epic wilderness trip, discuss the best old or new...

Thank you, Sir! Right back at ya...;). Merry Christmas.

Off topic but strangely fascinating. Imagine gangs of Bison and Elk. And what could happen if they were to run into a horde of Gerbil? On the other hand, a clutter of cats sounds pretty cute. And then there is the chattering cartload of Chimps. Awesome! :)

Love it! Thank you.

Nice. Thank you. Pulse below 60 now... :)

Here I am, doing what I said I would never do. Voice an opinion on a canoe, or two, I don't have any direct experience with. So much for my authority. ;) But what the heck...just by comparing specs, the Wenonah might be a little more responsive, as it is a tad shorter and has a little more...

Thanks for weighing in, Guys. I am mostly worried about the canvas. Maybe I'll go take a closer look.
