I hear you, BN. I did a March canoe trip on the Blackwater River in VA years ago. It was a 4 hour float and we capsized in the first 30 min. Water temp must've been in the low to mid 50s and chest deep. It was definitely memorable, but if not for a dry wool sweater in a trash bag, it might've been life-threatening.

Yup, thank goodness for wool and a quick fire.

Washington did it... we can do it. I would do it if I had to. But by choice, just for "funzies?" No thanks |

I love looking at these and living vicariously through your trek. I thought about doing almost exactly what you did with your canoe. Even purchased a special roof rack for it. I finally talked myself out of it when trying to figure out the logistics of working out drop off and pick up when canoeing. We've done that before when canoeing or rafting down our rivers but it is a real pain in some of our area rivers to coordinate. Were you able to work around or avoid that? Were you trekking in rivers you could upstream-paddle on? Armando, I found some maps online that gave river miles and accesses and made my decisions based on that, we just had to take a vehicle to the takeout and park it, I have learned to keep the mileage short on the floats to allow more time for camp setup ect. |
