I have found it very confusing navigating all the different roof racks that are available. Some are very cheap while others are several hundred dollars, additionally only some are compatible with certain model cars.

Does anyone here own a roof rack and if so how did you decide on which one to get?]]> 5 It's the Annual...

Lot's happening on the canoe/camping scene. Welcome to all the new Members who have joined us.

You may have a favourite sound that beckons the spirit - mine is the loon. Nothing greater for me to be snuggling into my pillow and bedding down for the night and listening intently to a precocious loon making his familiar racket.

Enjoy! [and...I sure would like to see...

One unfortunate women decided to go around a road barrier advising closure because of flood waters and was washed into the middle of the river and washed away. She managed to escape, but her three year old son didn't.

But for the other ones it's kind of fun to paint them; appreciating that there are some skilful artists out there. Why paint? Why not? It personalizes your paddle and makes it distinctive among the rest. It might be your totem or some other graphic that illustrates some part of your life.

Now is the time to get ready for the summer adventure on the water.

We don’t need a motor, we don’t need a sail.
We don’t need no fins or gills, and we don’t need a tail.
Let’s just keep it simple, we’ll each get an oar.
Paddle out to no man’s lake and float till we can’t no more.

Can you canoe on a little boat built for two?...​
