- Maiden Voyage
What a morning! I took off work today because the weather was going to be so nice - 75 and sunny - and it was! I chose Wawayanda State Park for my new canoe’s maiden voyage and I’m sure glad I did. This is a 18,235 acre state park housing an abundance of natural resources [...]

Yep, still suffering from Canoe-Brain. Mine’s gonna be burgundy… - Canoe-Brain

I’ve been afflicted with Canoe-Brain since my 30th birthday last week, when my wife presented me with the gift of CANOE. The best part is that [...]
