We rarely hear from any women except Barbara. Speak up, ladies. Heck, you don't even need to be ladylike.

Hey! I was the first woman to speak up in this thread, I believe, and my name isn't Barbara. Let's give credit where credit is due, Steve.... ;-) I, by the way, at 47 do consider myself part of the "old fart" group, and happy to be there.

I was making the point that women have rarely posted here in the past, although Barbara has talked about her Elban adventures extensively. If I missed some posts of yours prior to the "Who we are thread" I'm sorry, and that's regret, not just apology.

Are you implying that Barbara Kossy, Shoni Blue, Joan Spinner, Alice Bennett, Karen Hancock, Susan Watters, Anne Burton, Natalie Wiest, Lynn Miller, and Sandy North Carolina and me, aren't ladies? Or that being ladies and old farts is mutually exclusive?

Ok, ok, I'll stop lurking and add my bio too (one was typed in by my hubby, but he just doesn't have that feminine touch). I'm not an old fart by any means, since I'm under the age of 30. I hate mentioning my exact age since being younger in my profession is not a plus. I have only been paddling for the past year, but I've camped out all my life. We (hubby and I) have taken a 1/2 day course in South Carolina, and we're planning on taking a trip to Detroit...(sorry dear) Point Pelee, Ontario (is that better Mel? He hates it when I say we're vacationing in Detroit) to take a class from GRO. We have been paddling in the Kansas City area with a group called the Friends of the Kaw and the Kansas Canoe Association. We also have several lakes in the area, and a nice sized practice lake 5 minutes from our home. If you're ever heading down stream on the Kansas River, I'm the little blonde in the Perception Shadow, and Mel (the hubster) is the prankster in the Necky Looksha IV.
