Harry, we all know you are a failure in life, that's why you must lie
about every aspect of it. Perhaps it's because you are too stupid to
know that being in a sport with rules, expectations, and consequences
for NOT following the rules, plus the fact that it teaches you how to
be competitive without being an asshole about it (something you
should
take to heart), does indeed teach you a lot of basics about life.


That Class I picture would be major rapids here in Florida. Our scale
of difficulty is due to the number of trees you have to pull your boat
over and the number of snakes.


I have zero interest in "competitive canoeing" or its lingo, but I do
like to paddle around in a canoe on a pretty river. I've seen a few
snakes swimming in the Shenandoah from time to time. I have no idea what
kind they are. What's nice is fly fishing on the river from either a
canoe or a raft, or just going for a swim.


We launch from this spot:

We have a gravel road leading down between two parts of the river bank
right down to the water. Dark gloomy day when this was shot.- Hide

Now he flyfishes from a canoe.. This is getting better all the

from time to time. Wonder if he has a seperate canoe for each butt
cheek ?- Hide quoted text -

I'd love to see THAT! It's got to be *quite a site* watching Harry shoe-
horn his fat blubber into a canoe!

Rattlesnakes, maybe, but cottonmouths and corals range generally south of
the Shenandoah.



FloridaJim is geographically challenged.

Rattlesnakes can be found throughout the mid-Atlantic states, along with
copperheads. There are at least a dozen varieties of snake in this part
of the country, maybe more, but not many poisonous ones. I've never seen
a rattler out by the Shenandoah, but that doesn't mean they aren't
there. I have seen a few copperheads. I've seen big corn snakes on my
property right here, and we have an old ravine I do not walk in without
wearing tall boots.

The big threat out there is, incredibly, feral dogs. There are packs of
dogs around, wild ones, and they attack people. Which is why it is a
good idea if you are hiking to carry a sidearm. The other threats to
people come from bears. There's a bear cave on the property out there.
There also have been sightings of cougars, supposedly.

Mostly, though, if you are careful and quiet, you will see foxes,
possums, raccoons, squirrels, frogs, and, of course, all manner of
birds, including some gorgeous hawks and eagles.


Did you ever run across the Krausii Liesallthetime Marylandus? They tend to
hide in bushes, or so I've been told.

Bentonville is where we have our access to the river, schitt-for-brains,
and what I stated is precisely correct: the area is mostly Stage/Class I
and Stage/Class II rapids, though there is at least one Stage/Class III
area on the South Fork I haven't tried. Yet. If you posted a photo, I
missed it. I don't often look at your links.

Are you less of a racist now that you're given up substitute teaching?
Doesn't seem so.

Oh...have you sprayed WD40 into your openings?

I like the way he answered my paddling questions. Simple questions
really for any paddler who has shot the rapids and he answers hours
later with a wiki page.. snerk. Guess he couldn't google the lariat,
strainer, and blade questions fast enough.. pfffffttt... If he shot
the rapids it was with his widdle toy cap guns and his widdle toy
holster, hat and plastic badge.. out frolicking in the woods with his
"life partner" stumpy.. ;)

Rowdy Mouse Racing, yes, I know a little about paddling whitewater, so
does Mrs. Mouse. No posers here..

"Shooting the rapids" for a guy who is so obsessed with only
professionals playing dangerous sports, or doing any kind of manual
labor, would suggest a more experienced or advanced paddler when it's
Harry talking about it. He insists that everyone should be a licenced
pro before you do anything, I assume he holds himself to the same
standards.. . You other guys and guys like me are allowed to have
fun.. No problem.. ;)

The lariat holds the boat to you, a strainer is a tree or other
submerged obstacle that could hold you andyour boat under water and
kill you, the blade should be in a place where it won't get hooked on
anything or lost, but you can get a hold of it to cut yourself out of
a strainer or away from your boat within seconds, underwater, blind,
first try, every time.... This particular maneuver is practiced as
much as "rolling" by folks who actually "shoot the rapids"... Which I
don't do intentionally at my age... Now I enjoy a nice flat paddle or
at most play in the surf or wake of big boats ;)
