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.

I suppose you'd have to define "a lot," because a car may not be big enough
and you need an SUV, etc., but if a car will do, I'd recommend a Volkswagen
Passat TDI stationwagon. They're full sized cars and the TDI with manual
transmission gets upwards of fifty miles to the gallon. You can drive a
Passat from Michigan to Florida and back on a tank and a half of fuel. The
engines will last 250,000 miles and more if treated properly. The rest of
the car will fall apart around it, but that engine'll just keep on goin...

I have a Jetta TDI, and it's too small. The Jetta wagon would have been a
better choice.

TDI means diesel, right? Have you experimented with biodiesel?

Currently I have a Trooper that never gets over 21 mpg. If I needed to
replace it before the 2008 Highlander Hybrid appears, I guess my choice
would be the Ford Escape hybrid or Toyota RAV4, both 29 mpg.

Jetta wagon isn't really big enough for rafting.

Rumor has it that Honda may bring its 2.2 litre diesel CR-V to the US
in 2008.
