This all started on Memorial Day 2004 with the purchase of a Wilderness Systems Pungo 120. I previously had a Mohawk 15XL canoe, which I used during my days in the Boy Scouts with my two sons. But as all good things must end, they grew up and the good old canoe sat in the garage picking up dust. Since it was a two person canoe and I thought it might be neat to take my dog paddling, I ended up with the Pungo 120 since it had such a large cockpit. Take a Look!
So paddling away we go and on one paddling trip I got lost. Ended up a kind fisherman guided me back to the Eno River Boat Ramp just before sunset. So this exciting event ended up for me as a new Garmin 60CS GPS for Christmas. And with that, the idea of making a web page for all this paddling stuff. Now you can see some pictures and get the track for the trip to use in your own GPS. So, here is the stuff...
It was a great run Maggie! Maggie Tribute
