After seeing the sticker in your Colden, and on your truck, Robin and Myself had to look at the fine print. LMAO I guess I am qualified to get one now.
Old Fat Guys In Canoes.

Which Fat Guy Canoe? Wild or Star?

See it wasn't that hard to post

No Title

It's all about having a legitimate reason to post. Let's hope a
monster hasn't been created!
Found three more when you guys were dropping off my forgotten
gear! Thanks guys would have missed it when I needed it and couldn't find it,
one of those things that nothing takes it's place!

Nomad

I wonder if Paul still has the apple green Nomad..the first one he made. Good to see someone getting a Nomad from him.. I don't NEED one of his.. still working on a 1991 Curtis Nomad.. But his are so sweet.. Otherwise I'd have that apple green one..

Mine is #2 and a thing of beauty, will post a photo. I sold my Peregrine and missed not having an efficient canoe tripping boat. Paul had an untrimmed hull looking for a home. He railed it out in curly cherry and it's really nice. He does such wonderful work both in the laminate and woodwork and a joy to business with. I prefer working with a "boutique" builder, he does this for the love of it.

While I'm a dyed in the wool W/C lover , I have to say Eidolon canoe is stunning. Those cherry gunnels are beautiful & I'm sure technically challenging as cherry can often be difficult .

The water level looked low but you certainly aced the weather. Sounds like you all had a great trip!

Nice to hear you all had a good time. Was there a Canuck there with a white Shearwater? Pretty discreet fella avoiding the camera lens.

 

[yellowcanoe]

I am sorry I was not ready to make this trip.. Will it be an annual thing? Any thoughts on that?

There was but he turned back

Thats Ted coming under the RR bridge on Hitchins. I trust he is fine but I wonder what might have caused him to turn back.

 

[Robin]

After the carry around the upper dam Ted thought he needed to turn back. He insisted he was fine, just a cautionary thing.

I guess we will see what happens, maybe we can bring it up after the new year. It went well, the headwinds where a damper but other than that, I would like to try it again.

If we do go back there next year I'm bringing a shovel and a bucket to fill that sorry excuse of a fireplace

Picture please. So we can give you 1001 ways to rebuild it.
In Wabakimi we just dismantled what was there and found bedrock and built a 18 inch cubed fireplace. Three stones ..One each side and one back and a capstone
Mining was a beetch.

 

[Robin]

Site 18 has a lot going for it, great views, lots of space, nice beach, but besides being a poor hammock site, (hammocks, who knew ) , it's subject to cold northwest winds and a terrible fireplace or maybe "firepit" is a better name.

Someone dug a deep hole in the sand and walled it with rocks leaving a terrible situation to cook over. We filled it in with some rocks and built a fire over that, but it left a lot to be desired.

Lok like you guys had a awesome trip!!
