In 2000 we took a much different trip. All other trips had been canoe. This we rented a motor boat for Lake Powell but still brought our camping gear. It was the first time I had a GPS and so after the trip I was able to upload the trip tracks onto the map. We drove from Boulder, CO where...

I was looking at maps and photos of a canoe trip from 1998. From 1993 to 2003 my college friends and I would do a camping trip about every other year. Usually Quebec but sometimes Maine and once to motor boat trip to Lake Powell. The Trip to Lac Carrier to Lac Canimine in La Verendrye Reserve...

Because this topic https://talkfreethought.org/showthread.php?22727-So-what-s-next-for-Trump is about what Trump will do after he leaves office, I'm more concerned about what he does in the 2 months and about 2 weeks that he will still be president Will he: They to subvert the vote? Yes Will he...

The flip side of Parenting megathread This is about caring for elderly parents. In my situation, my dad died at the end of August and because my mom has advanced Parkinson's disease, she could not continue to live at home. She needs a wheelchair and so she can't drive. Her mind is failing. She...
