Mick-John: Good trip report. One of the most interesting ('cept for Bear's when he's cussing out Chuck for one thing or another), and nice pictures too. Hopefully John's visit will give Mick the spark to return the visit to the U. S. soon. I still dream of a trip with all the Geezer's ...

Chuck: Thanks for the recon trip. It sure will save us a big dissapointment. Has Lazyriverguy got any ideas about water in his area? It looks like the December trip may have to be moved to spring of next year. I'll keep watching the forum for updates and hoping that something materilizes...

Sure sounds like a good trip. Question! What stretch of the river did you guys run? I'm still trying to get on the Suwannee. The trip we tried to take, from the Music Camp" was washed out. We slept in the rain and the wind was so strong that we called it off. Too bad, but it only increased...

trip reports Thought everyone should be informed of some of the other highlights of the St Mary's trip. Such as::::::::the first night the temperature got down to 28 degrees. A couple of nights we were serenaded by the OWL chorus (if you"ve never heard it that alone is a good reason to join in...

Ocklawaha Hey guys. As usual there is much more to the story than can be posted here. For instance, we saw lots of big fish. I mean some bbiiggggg fish. After setting up camp one night a fish kept rolling front of us. At first it looked like a gator chasing something. After a while we...

pics Mick: Beautiful pictures; Any man that takes pictures of the clouds , and especially where they meet the horizon of the ocean is top drawer in my book. Nothing reflects a mans worth more than his love of nature, as displayed in those pictures, in my opinion. Congratulations on...

caribou Mosportsman: The caribou Jack was talking about were (are) Woodland caribou. Lots of 'em South of Wawa. Seen 'em- chased, 'em always enjoy seein' them along the shores of the lakes and rivers in that part of Ontario. Dapper Al.

Mr. Alnott Bear: My grandpappy (part Cree) told me many, many times. Young man, never, never go a day without shaving. When your alone in the woods for a long time it is easy to skip these daily chores but each one you let slip away moves you closer back to your native ways and those days...

Sweepers and creepers Commadore--Bear: Man that's mighty fine reading. After reading that on the fifth time I finally realized I wasn't on the river but sitting in front of my "puter. You tale tellin' skills are no longer a secret. Keep up the good work. Lookin' forward to ""the rest of...

Commadores Report Thanks for your report Commadore. Each geezers report gives the reader a new vision of the trip. Looking forward to days two, three, and the pullout too. Dapper Al.

Photos of the St Marys Jack: Take a close look at Chucks pictures. See how clean the river looks. Someone has talked to the locals or something. Not one piece of trash in site. Now I know where Swampy is. He went down there a week early and did a cleanup job--he's home catching up on lost...

St Mary's Hey Chuck: Sure enjoyed the trip report. Can smell the campfire and taste the food cooked over those open fires. Would liked to have seen Bear chopping open that path thru the downed tree. Did he use a machete or his Tom Mix pocket knife? Actually you lucked out on the weather...

Sorry JEM: Red X's only on my computer too. No pictures. Dapper Al.

Swampy: Great job. The pictures, the way you described the shooting the chute's, and the food and all, will stay with me forever. You should think of joining Jack and me and the Yaker on the Allegeny this fall. Dapper Al.

Amazing. Where did all that food come from? We had more good eats on the tables each night than ever before on any of our trips. And, the drinks get better each trip. Bear mixes some of the bet wines in the world. Turned my boat over and checked for more character marks and sure enough...

the best pancakes Buckwheat my boy! Buckwheat. Thats the flour that will stick with you when made into the mornings pancakes. On a trip into the great white North ( Smooth Rock falls to Moosinee, Ont.--240 miles and 22 days) we cooked buckwheat pancakes every morning and rolled the leftovers...

St Mary's Pictures Very nice David. Looks familiar except for the vessel used Mr. Chulata. Kayaks and canoes; That Chuck is versitile and he cooks too!!!! I saw the packages of steaks on the table---bet they were super after Chuck got his expert cooks hands on them. Like Swampy I was...

fellow strip builder Erich: Hey Erich. Very nice to see you on the forum. Sorry I didn't get to meet you on the island on Mijn lake. My camp was over the hill on the other side of the island and I didn't learn of your visit to our camp until after you had gone. Sure would have liked to...

Miji------ Hey guys: Just a few comments on the Miji trip. Number 1---Tell Swampy the people at the registration site told us there were no BEAR activities (to their knowledge)--or maybe there were some at the Old Woman Lake--but no one has returned to report any such activity--What did that...

Concentration? I think---Idon't think---give me a minute to recover---I--oh h--l I lost what ever I was concentrating on ----That was mean--I mean, concentration???? Calm down everybody. There must be a message in that somewhere.
