Boris Prince Rupert WAS a real man. A Prince of the Rhine, and a leader of my Palatinian ancestors who were Rhineland vintners. He was significant in Canadian history -- Rupert's Land -- before Canada -- as a founder of the Hudson Bay Company. Bill

You folks are off for a great experience -- we know you'll enjoy that great route. Cruise around the Carolina Sounds en route - fabulous in springtime (and fall). And have fun cruising the Chester River. And check out the song, "I'm going to cruise the Chester River".

Great film, Bill. My first geology job was to map Glen Canyon while the dam was being built -- brought back a ton of memories. Thanks

Marty- It's full of gravitas. El and Bill

Leaving June 1st - trip to Laurasia. See the Cretaceous landscape -- hadrosaurs, ichthyosaurs and maybe a t-Rex. Timed to be there when North America rifts off. Sea level a few hundred feet higher than today so should be good cruising into the swamps to watch the critters. Anyone care to...

Have a great trip on Powell, Jody -- perfect time of year, if you tuck into the coves for the occasional front -- and you know all the tuck-ins -- have a marvelous time. El and Bill

Chuck -- if you want a flavor of the Miss., here are a few photos of moments from our cruise on the Miss. http://cruisingamerica-halcyondays.com/missmoments.htm

Chuck- El and I drifted down the Upper Mississippi to the Gulf almost 15 years ago -- and through those locks (what an experience) and it was a marvelous trip and great memory. Yes, as stated, personal attitude is critical. Perhaps consider Amtrak as a way back to truck and...

Jody- Thanks for posting. What a flood of memories it brought back. Best job I ever had was as a new college grad working for an oil company -- they said, "You mapped part of that area for a thesis (now Canyonlands NP). Here's a jeep and two field assistants. All your field expenses are...

We are in Orlando and just did a nice nice cruise (again) on the St. John's -- one of our favorite cruising rivers. We are here on an exchange program with Friendship Force and sure have been enjoying FL birds, weather and swamps. We'd like to visit FL cruising friends, but insufficient time...

George- Reading the tale of your trip was an inspiration. We are doing it in a much easier fashion than your trip - however, we'll face the weather conditions and ice just as you did (in your smaller boat). Our attempt will be all the way through -- from near the mouth of the McKenzie to...

We have 'transitioned' from our liveaboard, cruising lifestyle in our CD 22 that we enjoyed for so many years, but we have not lost our love of cruising. Now, we intersperse our land cruising in our truck, with commercial small boat cruises. We have enjoyed delightful trips down many rivers in...

Glad you will be staying active on the site -- once a C-D owner always a part of this gang. Welcome ashore. El and Bill
