My Canoe, trippin', and campin' album.Over 25 years, I have paddled thousands of miles. In this album, I have displayed most of the memorable, and scenic pictures from the many trips. I also paint, and you will find mixed in here, some of my paintings done from the many memories. In 1978, I left Fayetteville, N.C., and embarked on a canoe trip to St. Petersburg, Florida. This first canoe experience was a memorable event in my life. Throughout this album, you can relive some of the events from that trip. I had the opportunity to see things from a very different view, to meet some unique and great folks, and to discover alot about myself. Love many, trust few, always paddle your own canoe! |
"Tippee Kanoo"......my 25 year old canoe. It is a healthy 65 pounds, and 15 feet long. Not made for speed, but endurance it has. |
On the '78 trip, this is off the Carolina coast.Sometimes the water was sheltered, and sometimes not. A major problem was the tidal influence. Many days I would be against a strong tide for a few hours, then with it, then against it. At times, where the tide was strongest, I would wait for it to change, then use to to help me. |
 The
Suwannee River
This near perfect reflection is from the upper Suwannee. An area of serene beauty that is a feast for the eyes and senses. There is little signs of man and the quiet of the place is 'deafening'! |
