good to see you still posting Jack! I've been out of the loop, for a while. (lots of family health matters keeping me out of the water this year) I've gotten to the point of actually being able to "think" about getting back on the water this fall!

I made 60 miles in 3 days without having to push my 50 year-old body very much. I'm guessing it mat have alot to do with wind.

This is just another drop in the bucket. This government has forgotten where its power comes from. As long as we keep voting our representatives back in, it won't change, and there's no hope. If these folks think it's a joke that the people are getting pissed off, they may want to chat with...

I would have to argue the point that it's about money. Although money is a part of this scam. What's really being perpetrated on us is the removal of freedom to control our own destiny. The power of the feds has so over-extended the constitutional constraints placed on them that the only way to...

That sure looks slick Ronnie!

Hey Belly, I'm pretty sure we all believe in the principle of "BETTER TO ASK FORGIVENESS THAN PERMISSION" on this website! It's the only way most of us would have ever gotten into boat building to begin with! :wink: Lee

Matt, You're forgetting that we use "Broken Oar Outfitters" for our really big adventures! :lol:

the electrician here at the college wants to build one this way. send lots of piccies!

I've had good luck placing the trap right on the rocky bottoms of the lakes and streams here in Iowa. I hang the bait, (usually cut fish, like bluegill) Place the trap(s) in evening, pull 'em in the morning. Crayfish, (or crawdads as we call them up here), are great bait for every species of...

Makes me wish Matt would draw up a drift boat. Nice looking ride there. Lee

Jack, If you're paddling for 8 to 10 hours at a crack, I may have to re-think our paddle together!! :P

Guess my wooden "snow-shovel" design is pretty crude then? :oops:

I'll be sure and post it when the time comes. Lee

Jack, I'm a little embarrassed to admit this publicly, but I did think about you while I was on this trip. I don't know if the Cedar would be "wild" enough for most everyone on this forum, especially someone with your paddling experience. (Iowa isn't exactly "wilderness") I came upon countless...

Jack, Yep, this was a solo. No phone, no wife, no kids, no dogs, and no rain! Actual paddle time to reach Cedar Rapids was around 12 1/2 hours, but I took 5 days to do it. The rest of the time was setting camps, fishing, and a little hiking around the bluffs. Coyotes are alive and well in these...

Go Ron Go!! I'm going to try and get the 18' "Freedom" finished this winter. Kids are going to be gone to college this time next year. Lee

I posted a thread over on Matt's site. Thought I'd link to my post on Facebook. Hope this is OK Chuck. If not, just delete the post. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=1 ... 8c3855cda6 If you double click on the first picture you can view it as a slide show. There are some comments on the...

Sometimes you gotta love what you see happening. Nice boat! Lee

That's an outstanding summary of what I was trying to find out! Thanks for taking the time to post the info. I'll check the site you posted later tonight. Lee
