This blog is a visual record of my outings into the streams, lakes and forests of Tennessee and North Carolina by canoe, motor boat and motorcycle. I love photography and use that venue to record wildlife and wilderness scenes for my personal enjoyment. I enjoy writing short stories also and do so while out in the forests or on the lakes. I also am addicted to dogs as will be apparent as you read my blog. But, the canoe is my favorite means of escape and wilderness camping is a joy.

THE BOAT
And here is the last major player for the time being. This is the source of meanderings on the great Tennessee lakes. The boat will carry Douglas and myself from island to island and from cove to cove in search of beaver, fish, river otters, water birds of all flavor. We may even discuss the adventuresome and high energy art of fishing. Ho hum!! Depends how one looks at fishing.
The boat is a 2006 18 foot Lowe Roughneck , welded aluminum model propelled by a 90 horsepower Mercury four stroke engine. Its top speed is 50 miles per hour and is equipped with depth finder and GPS. It can be beached on islands without fear of damage. It is a strong craft and will be used in all types of weather to meander in. A TWRA boat will be discussed also in this blog as very interesting adventures and meanderings have been undertaken in it. And some interesting storms and lake phenomena have been encountered in the TWRA boat.
