I guess this would be similar to me trying to get rid of some old golf clubs.<br /><br />I say hold onto it. Maybe you could incorporate it into your yard. Turn it into a flower bed or something. :)Halcyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02729819462354019534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-25037469763340225672010-04-27T13:59:01.010-05:002010-04-27T13:59:01.010-05:00It deserves a more fitting end.It deserves a more fitting end.B SQUAREDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510619553483917078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-69599362048060002422010-04-27T13:59:01.011-05:002010-04-27T13:59:01.011-05:00I've seen many canoeists on the St. Croix...in...I've seen many canoeists on the St. Croix...in fact, we sat on a bluff and watched them while on our honeymoon so many, many years ago! Never did it ourselves, though. <br /><br />Yes, you could sell it, but why? Maybe trade it in for a lighter vessel?Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-21603059866018104582010-04-27T10:18:39.078-05:002010-04-27T10:18:39.078-05:00Such great memories!

It was her first, and only, camping trip. It is a long story, but suffice it to say that it was the biggest travel planning mistake I ever made.<br /><br />I understand your reference to carrying the canoe during portages. When we had a long portage, Julie lagged behind. When we went back for the next load, we discovered the canoe that Julie was supposed to be carrying, lying against a fallen tree that obstructed the trail and which she was unable to climb over with the canoe. Julie had left the canoe there and had gone back to carry something that she felt was more suited to her -- the fishing poles. It is a good thing my brother's 12 year-old daughter, raised in Minnesota, was along to carry Julie's share of the supplies.<br /><br />That was just the beginning. There is a lot more to the story.Dave-CostaRicaDailyPhoto.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02567583999945259422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-79998849721014337612010-04-27T08:40:38.835-05:002010-04-27T08:40:38.835-05:00NO!!!!
