Today Penny was given the OK to attend the St Johns River Gathering after passing her one-month check-up following by-pass surgery. Now it’s just a few minor logistical challenges for us to resolve. Our route from Northern Idaho will not take the shortest route of 2,757 miles & 41 hours over...

Life is full without your blog to read and discuss each morning. Will you please go back and start the Great Loop again.

C' on Pat! After 3 round trips towing across the country we learned some stuff about ourselves. You might even fit! Our first couple of crossing we had nearly 3,000 miles to go both departing and returning home. We gritted out teeth and did long days and "boater homed" (stayed on boat) in...

TyBoo Where does the "time stamp" or the "time posted" come from? I've seen times later than the time I was reading the post and I've seen posts out of order, ie a later post has an earlier time stamp than the post ahead of it in apparent chronological order. I first I thought it was the...

I hope you guys will doing an Active Captain reviews for the marinas you visited. Boaters doing reviews on the Columbia and Snake River marinas have been few and are usually focused more on "big boats" than for our kinds of boats and boating. I'm still bugged we were unable to go. If it...

Worst fears realized: wife needs by-pass surgery which will probably happen in late Oct during the trip. Consequently Two Bears is dropping out. Surgery date not set yet, so I may be around as the group departs so I will wave from the shore. Chuck

I will launch Two Bears on Sunday and leave her in the State Park marina. We live just 50 miles away so I'll visit it Monday afternoon / evening and on Tuesday we will finish provisioning and be aboard Tuesday night ready to go Wed morning. I'll leave a note on the boat with phone numbers to...

SCHEDULE: Jim and I have put together a tentative schedule. The miles are statue river miles from the CoE shown on the Evergreen Pacific Chart book. The actual miles we boat will differ. Night --- Place -- Day Miles 1 Lyons Ferry 84 2 Kennewick 88 3 Boardman...

Some information about our trip: 1. Logistics in Lewiston: a. WHERE TO STAY: When you arrive in Lewiston you can set in the marina, stay in the State Park campground ($25 – 30 depending on state residence), or one of the local motels. The marina in the Hells Gate State park will hold your...

Colby, don't wimp out. You told me it was nothing to X-C the country with the c dory behind. Besides, if you dawdle a bit you can trailer home across the Rockies in the winter. That would be fun.

Can you tie it in with the Down the Columbia Cruise?

Both this year and last year Jody set a date and requested a sign up sheet. None appeared. We went anyway & had a good time. This year Jody requested a sign up sheet and after a few weeks I prompted the admin with a pm. Results the same. Unfortunately, I can't go this year but those that do...

For some reason the admin persons don't want a Lake Powell gathering. They have refused several requests this year and in 2016 to post a sign up sheet.

I'll be tied up on other projects until late August but will work on some things. 1. The Corps limits times pleasure craft can lock thru to 4 times per day. That might be a factor on daily travel on the Snake. I'm hoping with a group they will treat us like a commercial & let us go when we...

Two thoughts on vehicles/ shuttles 1) SUPPORT WAGON: Only a limited amount of the Snake River does not have a near-by road. I think we need to pool "drivers" and have a vehicle follow us driven by a different member each day. Then, if things "happen" we have resources to deal with it...

I consulted with my Admiral and she wants to go. Administrators, where is the sign up sheet? I've been feeling guilty about not doing that trip since I live so close. Instead I've driven across the country three times to do the Mississippi, Cumberland & Tennessee Rivers. I've been collecting...
