New Mississippi River photos

Man, you never know what you’ll find when cleaning out old files. I ran across these photos and scanned them yesterday. Took them on a disposable camera in the first few days. Man, we had NO idea what we were getting into!

This is Canoeing

I can not wait till this DVD comes out in a couple of weeks. The folks at CackleTV have put together what looks to be an absolutely fantastic video of white water and flatwater canoeing, trekking, all manner of other cool stuff. Really, do yourself a favor and check out the video clip below.

Neuse River Expedition Photos

Here’s a sample of some of the 700 photos I took while paddling down the Neuse River. With everything being digital these days, it’s waaaaaaaay too easy to get photo-happy, but it beats running out of film. I remember allocating myself one roll a week when I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2000.

Neuse River Gear Video

Here’s a quick video I took after spending 10 days on the Neuse River.

Neuse River Day 4 Podcast

This one’s short and sweet till I get to Goldsboro with a real cell signal. I hope you can hear that animal screaching in the background. Right now I’m in the middle of The Wild Kingdom, with beavers slapping the water, mosquitoes swarming my hammock, and random other critters running around.

31 miles paddled today, so [...]

Intermittent Updates until Goldsboro

I hope everyone is doing well. The Neuse had been great so far and I’m finally getting into the groove of the trip. Had a big ole’ thunderstorm yesterday, so things are pretty juicy for now.

I’m currently playing this silly game called “Trying to Dry Stuff on the Deck of the Kayak while Paddling.” Yeah, [...]

Here’s hoping that Hurricane Danny stays out to sea for a bit. I like to apologize to the entire eastern seaboard ahead of time, because [...]

I then emailed them directly from the phone to my Posterous.com account. From there, it was sent to our website (http://www.sourcetosea.net ), flickr, facebook, and Twitter [...]

Paddling the Neuse River to Promote Water Quality Awareness

As North Carolina’s population continues to increase, the need for adequate protection of its water resources become more acute. Riparian zone restoration, land trusts, enforcement of environmental regulations, and sustainable development are all key components to providing clean water for generations to come. Elevated nitrogen and phosphorous loads from runoff and development and [...]

Brothers Marshall Trans-Canadian Canoe Video

I ran across this video tonight while doing some research on waterproof cameras and camcorders for my upcoming trip down the Neuse River in North Carolina. Video is something I want to start doing on trips in a big way, but I’ve got a lot to learn.

I’m just speechless after watching this. It’s a 40-minute [...]
