New guy on board

[Greybeard]

Hello everyone.

I figgered there had to be a canoe club in Shreveport. I shudda looked on line sooner. I have a 17 ' pelican. It's a tad heavy, but a sound boat. When my daughter was ten, we had a 17' old town that we used on the buffalo. She is now 29. I recently took up fly fishing. I have two rigs. I am available on short notice as an extra paddler on short trips, even overnighters. I am open to bringing my Pelican along and taking on one or two paddlers, but my current car is rather short for my boat. I have a 70 VW bus that will be better fitted for traveling but I need to put a new engine in it first. I am a retired, former Marine. I look forward to a lot of canoeing this fall when rivers are deeper and weather cooler. I plan to make the meeting at the pickle in August. My email address is stopwaramerica@yahoo.com

Welcome Greybeard,

You might also check out the Bayou Chapter of the Ozark Society. It is also HQ'ed in S'Port. There is some overlap in membership with the ACC ArkLaTex Chapter. They do a good bit of canoeing and kayaking as well as biking, hiking and camping.
