Canoe Adventures

"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children."

There are times when a solo paddle, with no others around is what you need to refresh the mind and body. And yet, other times we need to meet up with like minded paddlers to share the moments.

Conservation Efforts -VT

The Lake Champlain – TMDL
The State of Vermont has been the Green Mountain State for a long time. Unfortunately, it’s becoming the green lake state as high levels of phosphorus have led to algae blooms in the north end of the lake. The process has gone back and forth with the EPA and the State for years. It was big news when I was making my transition from Dallas TX to Castleton VT. I attended a TMDL presentation at the Vermont Law School in Royalton, VT. State and Nationally known speakers were in attendance as were speakers from the agencies involved for the State of Vermont.
