Went for a drive today and ended up in Umatilla, FL. I drove around the south-west corner of the Ocala National Forest and got the Jeep all dusty. Might have found an alright campground. Took a few pictures with the 35mm but not developed yet. Found a camping database on...

For stability it seems like something like this would be needed: http://www.duckworksmagazine.com/store/ ... tm#Trilars for sailing how about a tri-pirogue? On a lake with no PWCs making a wake it should move along quite well. regards, David
