I'm planning a trip to Lake Powell in May and I'm trying to track down a resource for a groover called "BoomBox". Someone sent me the info and a website a few months ago, but I seem to have lost it. If you've got any leads.........

Come on guys, I didn't get a single reply from my post on Paddlewise! However, I did get about 8 replies from my post at BASK Buzz. Roger asked me to repost his on the Buzz, I thought I'd repost it here, also. Rob, Saw your query re "Boombox" for Lake Powell. I reviewed it in the Dec. '98 issue of Sea Kayaker (a highlight of my writing career to be sure) in case you'd like more information. It has worked well for us in Tomales Bay. Thanks for taking the time to track it down. GTS website: www.eco-safe.com Ph. 316.682.4037. Hopefully other kayakers will share your conscientiousness and start using the "box" on a consistent basis. Especially now that you have the address, and can hopefully pass it along. Thanks again and happy wakes, Roger & Jan ESKAPE Sea Kayaking Top Quality Instruction--ACA Certified (831) 427-2297.

I am afraid that the link led me nowhere, so I still have no idea, Would you give me a hint? thanks, gabriel -- gabriel l romeu http://members.aol.com/romeug studio furniture http://members.aol.com/romeugp paintings, photos, prints, etc. http://members.xoom.com/gabrielR a daily photo journal *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************

I think that the term might be more familiar to whitewater folks but I'm sure the day is coming (if it's not already here) when ecologically responsible sea kayakers will be using these also. The origination of the term came from the "grooves" that were left on one's posterior regions after the box had been used (to receive solid human waste) . I think the original groovers were .50 cal (or something similar) ammo boxes. They're strong and watertight, after all you certainly don't want one of these puppies to leak! I believe that they were first put to use in some of the southwestern US river canyons when the Park Service started requiring that human waste be packed out. I couldn't get anywhere from the posted link either.

It got me curious, so I looked it up. Try this: http://www.eco-safe.net The page has a list of dealers, too. Gabriel - I would never have gotten any of those references, either. Thanks Dave for explaining it. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
I actually got 3 variations of the address for this site. The one below is the correct one. After going through the dealers they list, I found SW Kayaks had the best price $50.00. aburton1_at_maine.rr.com wrote: > > It got me curious, so I looked it up. > > Try this: > > http://www.eco-safe.net > > The page has a list of dealers, too. > -- Rob Nevitt blumarbl_at_pacbell.net 122d42'27"W 38d26'58"N (Santa Rosa, CA) ils.bytebeam.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
