Funny guy!


Here's a sample, where's he's thinking about his paddling pal being sleeping bagless: "Being the considerate man I am, I'd have felt terrible snuggling into my bag and would've tossed and turned for a minute or two before dropping off."

I will paddle eternal, Kevlar and carbon.

Thanks, enjoyed your report. It has the ring of truth, but seems like it might ramble around it from time to time, like a drunk in the dark on a quest for the missing latrine.

While watching 'A River Runs Through It" I was reading your report and got a good laugh.


Thanks

I was entertained by this tale of a trip. Very well done, thanks for posting. I'm curious if you are an author?
