That title got my attention! I good night with wine should end up that way. Jack, you like the boxed wine to use the bladder inside as a water bottle. Its good you look out for the enviroment and use all those recyclable boxes. I enjoy a little wine for thy stomach sake, followed by a...

I didn't know Jack told you about that flight, at least he read the book first.

:D They're Here :D Won't be able to get to the park to set them up 'til Wednesday, but they finally arrived today.

I haven't recieved them yet. They are shipped via Canada Post, which must be their version of the pony express. They were shipped on the 8th, left Canada on the 10th and accepted in the USA on the 14th. I could walk to the border in less time. Canada Post's tracking site doesn't say a...

Falls in the air, October is here. The trees are changing, frost is forming on our windshields. And Hennessy Hammocks are selling their Demo, Seconds, and Clearance items. We just ordered hammocks for the family and are excited to try them out.

I hold this Eco Canteen with all other "too good to be true ideas". I don't read them, but I get a spam email from them about 3 times a week. Apparently they are trying to wear us down with an email campain. Have no fear though... I'll hold my ground and not buy.

Well I go kinda minimal. I have a tent ( used from the scouts is my favorite) Dome about 7X7. a little mosquito stove, and a couple flasks. as long as I'm dry and warm... thats all I need

The scout dads use a folgers tea bag looking thing that is pretty good (especially for the weight)

Nice trip Jack, that sounds more up Carol's ally than some of your other postings

Hey Beekeeper, Next time you go to that lake try to get a picture of the contraption they use to mow the lake. I've never seen such a nicely manacured lawn on a lake.

Well, the rain was at about 35 degrees. The Michigan group said there was frost on the boats, The southern crew called it ice. I cant speak for the rest of the guys, but I don't think what I was doing was paddling- it was more like steering. I've been on that river several times, this was by...

Great pictures Jimmy. Yes Chuck, i is just a bit north of Georgia. I missed the night that got down to 14 degrees. After the rain, the river was quick. My GPS read a little over 7MPH most of Thursday.
