The Tuckaseigee River (Tuck) is advertised as a "warm" and meandering river. That is one old advertisement! A couple years ago the dam started to feed into the Tuck and everything has changed.

The last morning was beautiful. Breakfast was shared by all. Allen Nutra Bars were welcomed by many and very tasty. Coffee was drank in large amounts. Chuck had gotten up us to where only a few hours of paddling would put us on the take out shores. He had done a wonderful job of getting this...

The ten began their journey shortly before dawn the next morning after Sir Wallaces men had delivered them to the east of the rest of the group. They caught only short naps. The idea was to get down to where the hostiles lay in camp and then deter them somehow away from the main group. They also...
