Sounds like your Dad enjoyed himself, don't count him out of futher trips. FRED" Hmmmmmm. I always thought the Explorer has pretty good initial. Maybe it's just been too long since my first days in canoes. |

07/20/2015 07:15PM And I'm curious about the KFC story, too (LOL)?-You don't want to know. Lots of breaks were needed shortly after eating. Oh, and "Two man tents" aren't what they used to be, are they? Maybe two "Newlyweds?" " We joke about the closeness nearly every time we are together. |

It was my dads. |

07/18/2015 05:01PM Nice report. The last day of the trip is always bittersweet. My brother, dad and myself are each over 1,000 miles from each other. |

Nice report, sounds like fishing was pretty good, nice weather, good company. Sounds like your Dad enjoyed himself, don't count him out of futher trips. FRED" Hmmm, I bet it wasn't a Souris? In the beginning he mentioned "Mad River" and the shallow-V hull of a Mad River has little initial stability, but tons of stability as it "Rests" on one side or the other. The combination of a shallow-V Mad River and a hangover makes me "Dizzy" just imagining it (LOL)! I agree with not counting your dad out on future trips. And I'm curious about the KFC story, too (LOL)? Oh, and "Two man tents" aren't what they used to be, are they? Maybe two "Newlyweds?" |
