Croc, Popped open the bookmark file a while back, and saw 4 new posts on this thread. Thought for a moment that a whole swarm of hikers and paddlers had descended. So it goes. I should have asked for an update on river conditions on Mars. An idly curious question, which needn't be answered: how did anyone as northern as you (and anyone who thinks of Nova Scotia as a warmer climate has got to be northern) choose such a thoroughly tropical alias? I actually saw one of your namesakes in the native habitat a few years back. Wasn't paddling at the time, which, in a departure from the norm, didn't bother me. I would much rather burn apple wood (or guava, much favored in the mountains here for warmth and for barbecue flavor) than paddle with crocodiles. The ones with four legs and a tail, at least. I'm all for wildlife, but enough is enough. Steve

Croc, Paddled last weekend along a lovely stretch of coast, old-growth rainforest running right down to the ocean. Rare sight these days; oddly due to the former presence here of the US Navy, which had a good bit of forest inside the base and protected it. Nice way to get up close to jungle without having to prowl around in it (also fun, but wearing). It looks like the kind of place where there ought to have been Crocodiles; probably there were once, but no more. Guess the Navy wasn't that beneficient, though their absence probably makes for better snorkeling. Civilization (or what passes for it in these parts) is never really very far away, but there are a few secluded coves where you can pull in and see nothing but forest on one side and ocean on the other. Which is nice. Steve
