Your Old Town Guide is fine. Nice wide boat, ehh? I'm not a real speedy paddler; I still take time to see what's going on around me. Sometimes, I gawk too much and run into obstacles when I should have been watching the river more and the banks less.

Your old Town would work really good, most of the trips we go on we dip a paddle now and then just to stay on course.

No reason to get in a big hurry , it is a lot more fun to go slow and smell the roses. Only time I get in a hurry is when I am out there by myself and have goofed off for to long and then need to get to where I wanted to camp.
Then I woke up and decided it is better to have 3 places picked out to camp at then one on down the river , this way I can goof off all of the time and still be in camp. It just takes a few more days of camping on the river , that way.

Usually when I take out and tell the wife I will be back in 3 days she just smiles and tells me ... "I will see you when you get back in 6 or 7 days".

JACK I LOOKING OVER THE TRIP SOME OF THE OLD GEEZERS JUST TOOK. MAN LOOKS REAL PRETTY . WISH I WAS RETARDED TOO. I WANT TOO HOOK UP WITH SPARK & SOME OF THE OTHERS ON A TRIP CLOSE TO HOME ONE DAY. I JUST GET A SATISFYING OUT OF READING & LOOKING @ THE PICS &TRIP REPORTS. THE OMLY BAD THING ABOUT THIS IS IT MAKES YOU WANA DO IT EVEN MORE.

TALK ABOUT THE TRASH , THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM ON EVERY RIVER . I KNOW IT IS ON THE ALTAMHA. WHAT GETS ME THE IDIOTS THAT LEAVE THERE TRASH I GUESS THEY THINK THERE NOT COMING BACK TO THAT SAND BAR.

THE GAME WARDENS COULD POLICE IT MORE IF THEY WANTED TO. THEY COULD NAME OR GIVE EACH CAMP SITE A NUMBER. COME THERE LIKE ON A HOLIDAY WRITE DOWN EVERYONES REGISTRATION # ON THERE BOATS. TELL THEM WHEN THEY LEAVE IT BETTER BEEN CLEAN OR EVERYONE WILL GET A TICKET. SORRY THIS IS JUST THE WAY I FEEL . THE POLICE GIVES YOU A TICKET I FYOU THROW IT OUT ON THE HIWAY. ( CATFISH)
