Greetings all: Long time paddler, cyclist, backpacker that has been lurking for a few months. I use to paddle whitewater kayaks and canoes. I have slowed down my whitewater recreation to do more canoe touring. I have an old (25 yo) Old Town Tripper. It is a beast but hauled my kids (3), wife all over the place for many decades. They all fit including the dog. As I age(60) I think I might be looking for a smaller and lighter canoe, possible kevlar. Kids are on their own but the dog still wants to go.
Anyway I plan to read all you write and perhaps contribute. Spent the last 2 falls in Utah paddling the Needles section of the Green river.
@ Mike McCrea, we paddled the Gunpowder a few times when our kids were young. I think we hooked up through the Monocacy club. I think you were starting up the Duck club at that time. Never paddled with the Duck club but if you are still messing around in boats drop me a line. I am recently retired and trying to stay out of trouble
Regards to all, Charlie Murphy
