One of my all time best bikes was a c. 1980 Specialized Expedition. I changed it from a 10 speed to a 5 speed by removing the front derailleur. Then I stoopidly sold it to a friend of mine who still rides it regularly. I tied and soldered the spokes, an old 19th century technique, and when I...

Please don't buy a kickstand.

Isn't self defense illegal in New Jersey?

I thought all the fire towers had been shut down. I was last there in 1982. As I recall it was not manned even then.

Yeah, me too, in my '69 Super beetle which made it to 300,000 miles, much of that being city - and also Pine Barrens - driving. The engine and transmission were still great, but rust was destroying it. The Beetle was much better in the Barrens, being light weight and narrow and having excellent...

I think that was the getaway car.

I agree! I like good bicycle machinery and I hate those Walmart things, pretty colours but crap. "... a used Trek" The name on bikes means little. It all depends of what kind of frame and components they are using, tho surely something like Trek would be much better on the average than bozo...

"I'm retired, have a 4X4 truck and a landscape trailer, and I'm looking to kayak if anyone's interested." Hey, I'd love to go with you, but unfortunately I now live several thousand miles away.

Another photo from that 1980 canoe trip. That's me again. And there's my IK parked on the shore of Lake Oswego, Oct. 21, 1990. UH OH! I am hijacking this thread. I'm sorry. Just say the word and I'll delete my posts and start another thread instead.

I used to love canoeing in the Barrens. Once I went with a canoe club on New Years Day. I think it was their tradition to go canoeing every year on that day. I brought my inflatable kayak. The water was partly frozen but the sun was bright and it was fun. Here's a photo of me cutting up on...

Same here.

Yeah, I came across that someplace online a couple of years ago. Thanks for the book info.

Thanks! It says new paperback, only $5.46. Can it still be in print? That must be a mistake. As I vaguely recall it had an update on the people in the book, including Mr Brown's friend, and someplace online - probably here - I came across some info on him - forgot his name, Wambsgans or...
