It's real quiet here even when there is water running!

Compared to what RBP was before the Web, anyway!! :-( RBP is a mere
shell of it's former pre-WWW existence. :-(

Yeah. I was looking at this the other day:

Wow. Them was the days.

BTW, anyone up for a Mongolia canoe trip in June?

Hmmm, there were over 6000 posts in the month of January 1999 alone.
That's of course at the height of RBP, just after Scott died. I wonder
how many posts Boatertalk gets every month...

Hi riverman, I was just driftin around, and thought I would check out
the rbp. Haven't been here for a long time, so just thought I would
say hi.

Actually thought of you earlier when I read news of tourist in Kenya
being shot, and thought of when you were over there. Hope you are
doing well where ever you are boating and fishing these days.

Good day, Rkymtnhootowl

We ran the Illinois river (SW Oregon) over New Year's. I would've
written a trip report but didn't have time. On New Year's Eve,
we managed to stay up until 12 midnight east coast time! Which was
9:00 Pacific. The moon was intermittenly hiding behind clouds,
but our backs got cold even with a big fire.

What do you want to talk about? I'm interested in a discussion
of vehicles with good fuel economy that can carry a lot of gear.

I'm always a little baffled how the BoaterTalkers find so many topics.

Excuse me if this post apears twice. I posted over an hour ago and th
first is not showing up....So again:

I think this group is approprately active for 300-400 memebers. Has
there been a loss of memebership recently?

Also, I moderate a Yahoo! group called "Signal and Image Processing."
I occasionally do a memeberhsip drive by posting to related groups
Perhaps someone in this group should do that. I'm a newbie so I think
one of the senior members should do that.

Finally, I notice that the group desciption doesn't contain the word
"kayak." If google searches use the description, then, perhaps someone
should add it.

It doesn't contain the word "kayak" because it is not exclusively about
kayaking - it is a paddling newsgroup and includes canoeists and other
paddlers.

The main reasons for it's demise over time have largely gone - Uncle
Timmy is no longer an issue (his health isn't what would be required to
post here) and the Snot Weiner seems to have trucked off for other
venues to annoy. I can't think of a reason for the paddlers to migrate
back here.

Hi Michael. Don't forget The Burning Man. I think Njall proboably
did as much damage to r.b.p as Sponson-boy did.

I was just reading a profile of Rocky Contos in the American
Whitewater journal. It brought back memories of a vibrant and useful
r.b.p, and then it actually referred to Rockies posts of his exploits
during the halcyon years of r.b.p in the late '90s. Worth a read if
you have access to a copy.
