| Canoe Trip Posted: 6/1/2008 11:23:25 AM | I have an Old Town Otter. I had a rack put on my car for it awhile back, but the kayak kind of acts like a sail. Last time I carried it the car didn't want to do the hills on Rt. 181. So I was thinking about renting a sit-on-top but maybe I better take the advice given here and just load up my Otter and drive slowly.
Are they really running out of campsites with only 14 people signed up? Can't more than one tent go up on a campsite?

| Canoe Trip Posted: 6/1/2008 11:51:50 AM | Hi Audrey they are running out of sites.But don't worry they are putting us all together in one of the goup sites that can hold up to 25 tents.All with picnic tables and all.I would bring your otter you'll be more comfortable you all ready know how your boat tracks in waves and eddies.In stead of spending the first hour figuring out how the sit on top tracks LOL.I asked for one thats close to the johns LOL for all the woman LOL.I have a friend that likes camping but she didn't like to walk to the johns she would drive 50 yards to the johns cuz she was afraid of the things that go bump in the night LOL. | |
