04/12/2011 09:42PMquote tobiedog: "bruceye from Ellwood City, PA- I was born and raised in New Castle, PA. Maybe we should meet at Forbush frozen custard on 65! Nothing like it!" Holy Smokes Tobie! It is indeed a small world. I was just there 3 wks ago. ( funeral for a friend who was living in Mahoningtown) What I remember most about New Castle aside from the fact that your HS. football team used to and probably still does,kick the snot out of us. But that death trap rollercoaster ride at the now abandoned, Cascade park. We laughed hysterically when we drove by there this time out.When did you move away? I graduated from Lincoln High in 77 and hit the road in 80. Thats the short story. |

03/07/2011 08:21PM Many trips in the late seveties and early eighties. Then late in the eighties I got real busy with my business and paddling was limited to the cabin lake.

Where there is a will there is a way I guess. " I remember looking down at the ginseng plots from Rib Mtn when we lived near Wausau! SE MO at the eastern edge of the Ozarks. 965+ miles to Grand Marais one way. Been going since '84 and have lost track, but it has to be 30-40 something since I used to make 2-3 trips a year for awhile. Even earned the name "Wilderness Webb" from friends I used to take up there. Have backed off due to medical issues and now have only made 3 trips since 2004. But I love the BWCAW, and would live there from May-October if I could! TW |

03/07/2011 03:46PM I'll tell you where. Someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talking about a little place called Duluth. |

03/07/2011 03:31PM Coarsegold/Oakhurst, California. 3 trips. 1st trip, 2007, age 61, group of 4, trekking, 7 days. 2nd trip, 2008, turned 62 during trip, solo, trekking, 8 days. 3rd trip, turned 63 during trip, solo, base camping, 7 days. Last year (just after turning 64) I towed the tent trailer to British Columbia instead of going to the BW. This year, age 65, I plan on towing the tent trailer to Yukon Territory and Alaska in order to work on my fishing bucket list. Possible BW trip in September if I can talk my son into it. Weeklong true solos may be in my past. |
