        Once, long ago, you could find tents like this.  In some old ACA
yearbooks from the teens and twenties there are photos of encampments where
the tent is raised on and above the canoe itself, about 2/3 the length of
the boat and just about its width.  The boat, of course, is on dry land.
The paddler removes the center thwarts and sets his sleeping bag and gear on
the floor of the boat.
