Photo of the day

My buddy Mikey C. took this photo. He didn't mean for it to turn out this way but it did, and I like it.

I turned it into this just for fun.

The local put in. It is conserved land, but during the pandemic folks just started leaving their boats there so the conservancy had to put in a rack. These rarely if ever actually get put in the water, and actually block access.

Brave of them to leave thousands of dollars worth of boats just laying around in public. Is it a long walk in?

Why pack in your own canoe when you can choose one of these?

100 ft from the road. 100 yds from my house. Two summers ago one of the boats got left in the water, tied to shore, for about two weeks. Then it drifted down below the first bend and got caught in some reeds. Then someone pulled in up on shore a quarter mile down from the put in and left it sitting in plain site of a main road, where it sat for a month until I grabbed it and brought it back to the put in. Still don't know who's boat it is, but it is still right there where I put it.

Most of them are pretty beat and sun damaged, but there's a nice OT Camper and a nice MR Exporer stored there. Both tempting.

And I don't even see any chained to the rack, which is cheap and simple insurance. Maybe this is just an example of the steady decline in popularity of canoes over the past decades. Would kayaks or paddle boards be more likely to be snatched?

Perhaps no. Would SUPers and kayakers walk that far to the put-in?
This looks more like friendly community minded canoeists' approach Take a penny, leave a penny.

Sounds like my kinda place.

There's a reason I call my town the center of the civilized world....
