7 & 8 May 04 (Fri & Sat): Hurrying & scurrying to get ready. Added a modified seat to the Katie Bug canoe (13’ Christine designed by Selway-Fisher, built by moi). Didn’t do a great job of modifying, so loaned my Olde Town Camper canoe to my Son, Eric. This isn’t a great handling canoe even dual, and is a barge solo. (This does, however, fit in with a theory of mine. If his first solo on a river is in a barge, every canoe from there will be a step up. His first two jobs as a kid were two paper routes, then as a bus boy in an “all you can eat buffetâ€Â

LOL ya'll did have it made! Sound friends, beautiful woods and what's this I read? Unscheduled baths!? I just assumed it was an Eskimo roll you performed for everyone..... :lol:
Did Al have his new canoe out on this trip?
Will Bud or Eric speak to you again?
So many questions to ask...... so little time to get ready for Canada.....
Jack you sound like you all had a wonderful adventure! Wish I could have gone.... one day.....

Well, olde feller, your kind words are appreciated. But, after long consideration, pink tutus included, we voted to keep it an all guy trip. So, you probably wouldn't have apprecitated the foul smells, behavior, and language.Swampy said:
Maybe, if you can leave behind the femalia attire etc. we'll let you sleep near the fire in Canada. Without Chuck there to reign you in, I guess we'll have to run a duty roster of whose day it is to watch you. With your geriatric gymnstics, we'll have to run a night watch too. Maybe even bring along a medico to soothe your aches and pains as you fall from the child-proof hammock.
Well, OK, Swampus Plungicus. You can join the men around the fire at night. Just be careful to not get too close.
