• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

On line trip journals

When we used to do wilderness canoeing, a simple book journal would accompany us. It was fun to make daily additions to the journal sitting around the campfire at night, and having a blackberry brandy or two.

A lot of "interesting" things seem to happen on trips. We used to go back and "review" every once in awhile. Neat to read about those sudden storms, the fishing "honey holes" we occasionally found, the special scenery, funny incidents, etc. etc.

You could do the same with your computer and Microsoft Word.
 
I always carry a small Cannon camera that fits in my front shirt pocket and in the top of my tank bag. I take as many photos as I can on our trips that my wife and I make.
I down load them on my laptop and later on I use them and Word to make a travel journal of each trip then down load it to a thumb drive take it to kinkos and have a journal printed and spiral bound. We look at them occasionally, but I am keeping them so my son and granddaughter can have them after we are gone.All I have from my dads epic trip around the states on his Harley in the late 1930's is a few photos and the stories he told me about the 3 year journey . They are some of my most treasured things from him.
