: Reminds me of a line from an old Kristopherson song -- "ever since the
: first I had the worst I've had's been good". In other words, as long
: as the water isn't too hard, its a good time to paddle. For a variety of
: reason though, this year is pretty much limited to day trips. July is shot
: for me as well with haying. I should have some time in August and some
: weekends in the fall. Late September/early October is nice on the Kootenay
: when the Kokanee are running and the eagles are out in force and the bears
: are getting fat. I'm way overdue for a serious adventure but it will have
: to wait for another year or two. So many places -- so little time.

I still need to introduce you and Dooger to the Middle Fork, and I want to see the Bull.

: Gosh with another munchkin, you're going to need a couple of doubles. More
: boats -- everyone needs more boats.

Nope. Not until they're adventurous enough to want their own singles. I may go for a fast double, but while they're tykes, the Prospector will be a perfect fit. More boats, absolutely!
