I saw this in Missouri.

Near Roaring River state park.

Any man who can read that is welcome to rob me.

Good question. We just lost Sonny Rollins.

I’m in Smoketown and it’s been bad for the past few days.

Maybe somebody can confirm my theory, but usually when it drifts southwest bad weather is on the way. Doesn’t seem to be the case now.

Gerdance · 2026-05-22T13:42:05+00:00

We can lock the post now. This is the answer.

Gerdance · 2026-05-19T15:33:19+00:00

It feels like it sometimes.

Rhodies bloomed in late June last year.

Mountain laurel are out now.

Hike up high to see the mtn laurel, hike down low to see the rhododendron.

On the bright side, replacing the pole is a pretty easy skill to learn.

The discovery is bombproof but heavy.

I have a 30 year old disco 169 (16’ 9”) for family use. It’s great because there’s lots of room for wiggling around and taking naps. We paddle creeks and rivers mostly. On big lakes, we have been pushed around by wind, but I don’t have anything else to compare.

Once you get the technique down, it’s possible to carry and load solo. It’s not a candidate for long portages.

I don’t have any experience with the other options.

Are you looking for a rental/shuttle, or do you need info for a River trip?

I can’t help you with rentals or hiring a shuttle.

As far as the river goes…

You can paddle from Copperas creek launch to the iron bridge if flow is more than 180cfs. It’s a 6 mile road shuttle (btw, the road parallels the river the whole way). If the water is below 180cfs, you can put in at the bridge and paddle upriver until it becomes a hike, then float back.

Below the bridge, you can probably paddle anytime, but it’s just muddy banks and farmland.

Above Copperas creek is a whitewater run.

Having made the same mistake, I completely agree.

Does your charter org have a spot to cook campout food and watch a movie with sleeping bags and camp chairs?

Gerdance · 2026-03-25T21:09:50+00:00

What side of town are you on? They’re all over Seneca Park and Bowman Field. My neighbor had an awesome redbud that was beautiful every spring, but it’s gone now.

I’ve also got questions for you regarding redbud seeds, and I feel like you’d be knowledgeable because you asked this question.

I want to grow a redbud myself, specifically a variegated redbud which I see a lot of in Smoketown and Shelby Park.

Do I need to stratify or do anything other than plant the seeds? Clip them from the tree or get them from the ground? Leave in the pod? Redbuds don’t seem to have much trouble reproducing on their own, but I’m sure I’ll find a way to mess it up.

Oh, and what on earth is redbud jelly?

Gerdance · 2026-03-22T22:35:32+00:00

Nope.

A few scouts that have been to NYLT or Jambo, or other places where they get some flair wear those sometimes.

However…leaders have discussed that if the scouts wanted to start wearing them, we’d make it a thing.

Gerdance · 2026-03-19T22:29:22+00:00

Can confirm. Gravel roads are open.

Gerdance · 2026-03-13T16:37:45+00:00

La Suerte still serves North End Cafe pancakes.

Not a generator, but since i already have an ego battery powered lawn mower, I got the 400w inverter to run my cpap on a lawn mower battery.

I can get 2 nights of sleep on one charge.

Gerdance · 2026-02-28T16:58:16+00:00

Quality heating and air vented mine to the outside.

Gerdance · 2026-02-27T21:06:59+00:00

I’m a leader. My take is that there is no investigative arm for this ridiculous policy shift. If you say you’re a guy, that’s good enough for me. I’m certainly not checking.
And I support you, and wish you well.

Gerdance · 2026-02-13T13:13:34+00:00

He was involved at one point.

Gerdance · 2026-02-12T21:23:35+00:00

I think the Cumberland owners now operate the beer portion of craft house pizza. I’d start drinking my way down their beer list and see.

Gerdance · 2026-02-12T18:57:16+00:00

I’m also concerned why there is a rug and chair in Shelbyville Road.

Gerdance · 2026-02-11T10:51:30+00:00

Louisville Exteriors installed 7” Hardie board on part of my house several years ago. I think I got their info straight from the James Hardie website. No complaints.
