If you were screening people for a canoe trip what would be a deal breaker.

I don't own a spork but have used them before.

I find chatterboxes annoying along with those cell phone jockies.

SG, what's a mainliner?

intravenous drug user...

Ok, no main liners either. Or coke heads. And no crack heads.

Crack heads might make good porters. They work for crack... they don't eat. Crack is light - I'm sure the gram weenies could appreciate that.

The only problem is they are usually weak and scrawny - maybe the crack gives them strength. I'd want to make sure they could lift my boat.



I think most crackheads tend to be afraid of the outdoors too. At least that is the impression I get. I don't run into many.

I think the drug use you'd run into in the wild is marijuana and alcohol. Gram weenies definitely go for weed. It is much lighter. It wouldn't be a problem if we were in CO or CA.

PS - after this kidney stone nightmare I'm never going out in the woods again without at least a few percocet.

There is no way I would have made it back under my own power without some kind of heavy pain killer.

Here I thought a mainliner was a paddler who started at Old Forge and paddled to Tupper as described in the 1967 brochure Adirondack Canoe Routes

Ha, I thought it was a mainlander, which is what the Newfoundlanders called us Nova Scotian boys!
