Michael emailed me back channel to explain that where he paddles (east coast of the US), it is often a very long drive just to reach a paddleplace, and then a hassle to find a decent place to camp that is not already occupied. This is in contrast to what we west coasters have: manifold places to paddle where the crush to find an available campsite is not so severe. Alas, the vagaries of population pressure! I bet if I lived where Michael does, I'd be more of his persuasion ... -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
