An unusual visitor in Canoe Camp, and a side-trip upriver, to Waterloo. We prepared a new camp for paddlers and locals on the Jefferson River! ▶️ DTube ▶️ IPFS

Getting "Lumpy" over to our power source, as I need to continue using power tools. Somehow, I failed to film the loading of the canoe! I'm attempting to catch-up with my video uploads! I was

I've been having issues uploading to D-Tube, lately. Files too big, apparently.  I'm working on this. Stay tuned!

We have finally secured a tree... and she's a big, knotty, Douglas fir! Watch what happens, as we transform this beauty into a fine DUGOUT CANOE! Dugout Canoe Love is here, in Cardwell, Montana! This is

I am thecanoecarver on Steemit... Churchill Clark. Dugout Canoe Love is here! Again! (LOL) I set an account up last year, and lost my password. Don't do that. THIS will be the account I'll go with now.
