Building our Cabin in the Ozarks: 1969 we bought 40 acres, adjacent to what is now Mark Twain Forest, in Crawford County, MO. Near streams that would be ideal for swimming fishing and canoeing. After the first winter and spring we began to build a new cabin. On weekends we would set a foundation footing or two and by the latter part of July 1970, we we ready for setting the flooring & sawing of frame gussets. My brother in law and his sons joined our six for the week end. At the end of the weekend, the joists, flooring and one rigid frame was up. For the next two VERY HOT AND SUNNY weeks,we rushed to build our cabin, close it in, and put on roof tar paper. (The tar paper blew off by the next week end of course. ) This is when we finished the roof.. Later we painted and stained the Cabin, brought in the electric and propane tanks.
For the next 14 years we used the cabin on week ends and vacations, as much for living green and close to the earth, as well as having time together with those we love, in a place we loved. WE called it "Turtle Run", as "Deer Run" would have been too easy. Located near Pucky Huddle, MO

Canoeing in the Arkansas River is a favorite past time on the Wetlands and Wildlife National Scenic Byway.
As the starter shouts “Ready, Go!” the view is instantly filled with kayaks or canoes and cascades of water are thrown into the sky by countless paddles. Shortly after the fireworks of the start, all the paddlers make it back to the start area, jump out of their boats and speed down the designated portage line with coaches, team supporters and spectators enthusiast shouting and screaming trying to encourage their paddlers to go faster, to catch up, to get on the wash … You almost lose your breath of all the excitement, and so it goes on for several short rounds with a portage on every lap. Such is the breath-taking sport of Canoe Marathon of today!
This version of Canoe Marathon is very different to the so-called Classic Canoe Marathon competition where athletes started in one place and finished in another. A radical change; finding the right balance was crucial. A close dialogue with the national teams has secured the road with the main purpose of creating a spectacular competition with as much action within the view of spectators who do not have to move and are now able to watch most of the race where the start, portage and finish take place.
But Canoe Marathon is much more. The traditional or Classic Canoe Marathon races most often starts in one place and finish in another and involves all kinds of water; river, lakes, estuary and sea or combinations of these challenging paddlers on calm or flowing water with the main objective. The paddler has to take the water as it is found and be prepared if it is necessary to carry the boat around an impassable obstacle.
Many popular Canoe Marathon competitions are raced down sections of river, where the paddler must negotiate the currents, rapids or weirs, or else portage around these obstacles. Some of these events attract over 2000 athletes each year and are often run in several stages over several days.
Canoe Marathon is being practiced around the world on all continents in most member countries. The excitement of a Marathon race particularly during the portages. A sport with a lot of action.

Guests awaiting the arriving Low-V train at the 242nd Street - Van Cortlandt Park station for the return trip to Manhattan.
On this exciting excursion, guests got to venture uptown on our WWI-era IRT subway cars to spacious public grounds at Van Cortlandt Park, the third largest park in NYC. During a 3-hour layover, riders had the opportunity to explore the Van Cortlandt House Museum, partake in canoeing lessons, tour the abandoned Putnam Railway line, and stroll along the John Kieran Nature Trail!

This shows the board in the fully down position.
If the board was a single fixed board with a weight at the bottom the lever arm required to pull up the board would be the weight x the distance from the weight to the red pivot pin.
The secondary pivot halves the force required to raise the weight of the board because if halves the lever arm.

While pulling the canoe onto shore, Adam sent Joanne for a swim and gave me an idea. Swamp the canoe and let the kids try to climb on top. You would think they were on a roller-coaster by the way they shrieked.
