My sandpiper has been discontinued. It weighs 39 lbs and is 13-1/2 feet long. Like you, I got a boat that I could easily pick up and load by myself. I'm 5'2" and was loading it on a minivan! Now that I'm married, I sheepishly admit to playing the girl card and let him load it now...

We canoe mostly rivers, slow-to-fast, minimal whitewater. I like the fun, playful stuff, but not the hard core whitewater. A good scenic river or creek with enough current to make it easy is my favorite. I also love love love swamps and backwater exploration. Although my favorite rivers are...

We're solo boaters, too. I have a Wenonah Sandpiper and my husband has a Wenonah Voyager. We bought a used tandem last year and have enjoyed it on some types of trips. I always liked the solo because I didn't have to wait on someone else's schedule to go with me. I like your reason a whole...

Baymule...thanks for the recipe. Has my mouth watering. You wouldn't believe all the ways I've been trying to use pecans. Ground up and used for pie crusts, breading for sauteeing chicken breasts, Toasted and tossed into green beans or on fish (actually, they don't need to be toasted)...

I have friends who kayak, too, so I won't hold that against you! haha! I almost give myself whiplash trying to see down to the water whenever I drive over a bridge. I've been known to make u-turns to go see if there is a way to get down there to put a boat in! We like the silent sports...

I had a brain freeze. I don't have a camellia bush...I have a gardenia. Gardenia flowers are also used for tea. I haven't found enough solid references for the leaves to make a decision, even though I see indications it is used for tea, the same as the camellia. This thread on the yaupon...

Thanks everyone! And yes, my screen name is because of my hobby. I like to canoe and have been on rivers all over the Southeast, mostly Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, and Arkansas, but a few other places, too. That's even how I met my husband. Even better, he surprised me with a marriage...

Thanks for the welcome! I haven't tried the yaupon tea again, but adding the orange flavor sounds good. It's been a while, so maybe the roasted yaupon will actually taste better now that it has aged. :) My dried American Holly is still in the pantry...I'm dreading those sharp leaf...

hello everyone...I just joined and thought I'd introduce myself. I don't remember precisely what I was searching for when this website popped up, but it probably had something to do with DIY, Homemade Something or Other, Homesteading, or Self-Sufficiency. Close enough? :) I live on 3.75...

I was going to post an introduction as my first post, but this is something I have recent experience with! I have studying which plants in my yard are edible. I have an abundance of yaupon holly, the leaves of which make a caffeine-rich tea. I get a lot of my information on foraging and...
