  • Mike, I see you are a member of the organizer's Meetup - I'd like for us to get a Meetup organized. I'm going to check out your kayaking group, too. Friends of mine own River's Edge Canoe & Kayak in Leechburg.

  • Would like to do your hike but will be at Wilderness Lodge skiing. This trail is part of NCT and I help maintain and build NCT trail. I organize the yearly Outdoor Extravaganza, base camp at Breakneck Campground, near McConnells Mill SP. You may have seen it advertised. 200 -300 people come throughout the weekend to do many activities. Would you be willing to do this hike one of the days without ice crossing? Ha, ha. Always need leaders and new ideas.

  • I will be at South Side River Park on Sunday, August 1st, at high noon. Plan to kayak to the Point and back if anyone would like to join.

  • Thanks for the info Mike. I really should have bought a sea kayak instead of the SOT. I think you are right about keeping up. I am thinking of selling mine or trading it in. I notice yours in the picture. If you hear of anyone wanting to sell theirs or if you have any other info please pass it along. Otherwise I think it is best that I do not attend Saturday :( I would really love to and I love Presque Isle. Grew up in Meadville so I know it well.

  • Hi Mike,
    I was at the Tsunami trip so hope you remember seeing my Wilderness Tarpoon sit-on-top. Would this be OK for the Presq. trip?
