well anyway plainsman …
....... please keep hanging around and updating us from time to time as the adventures of your new canoeing world unfold .
It was really neat to hear of all the outdoor nature activities you and family have undertaken and experienced to date ... I think that's a wonderful strategy you and wife have adopted for yourselves and children , just fantastic !! Be great stuff to spend hours around the campfire sharing .
It's my humble opinion that this type life style is what everyone here on p.net is all about , each trying and doing what they can to live it . And for better or worse , these forums are where it's all shared (including plenty of off topic misc. stuff , lol) .
Welcome , see ya round the next river bend ... until then ok
