One of the things that Bob didn't like about traveling by car vs
traveling by boat was that he didn't have tools with him.

Hmm....Bob sounds like a candidate to get a STEPVAN! All my tools are in
there....(c;

NO NO - NOT ANOTHER VEHICLE

We've already got enough vehicles. In addition to the big boat and
two dinghies (we did sell the little open skiff and trailer last
fall), and the two MBs we have

Two 1932 Plymouth PBs
a diesel Lynx and a diesel Escort (mid 80s)
a formerly diesel Escort that has been converted to electric
a Galaxy convertible (1965 I think)
a 1964 Ford Falcon station wagon with a V8 engine
a 1965 Mustang convertible and a couple of other Mustangs of that era
a 1982 Cougar which someone T-boned
Two 1971 Ford pick ups - one a crew cab with an 8 foot bed and a
camper, and the other a regular one which one of our children's FIL
borrowed and wrecked and Bob wants to put the Cougar engine into it
and then make the Cougar into an electric wheel car.
a tow dolly
a horse trailer (although someone did take our daughter's trailer away
a couple of years ago)
two lawn tractors one of which (an old IH which I got used in 1973) is
just a very large paperweight

and maybe some others that I've forgotten. It's raining so I'm not
going to do an inventory.

Geez! Sounds like some of those Cracker trailers on the ICW in Florida! I
thought some of them were used car lots....(c;

We do have a fairly large garage (which Bob built). This is my house

My first date with him (I was a sophomore in hs and he was a junior)
was to the stock car races.

Smitten, eh? I love a happy ending....(c;

Anyone have knowledge of the Cape Fear above Fayetteville or a
source
of charts?


Charts? You can follow it on a topo map. The Cape Fear was improved
for
navigation back in the 1800s but there's nothing remotely resembling
a
channel any more. The first rapids are at Raven Rocks a few miles
above
Lillington.



Thanks. I found this source to order the topographic maps.
