If anyone sees a guy in a red canoe with what appears to be his belongings, currently travelling the D&R Canal in SBB heading up stream, stop and say hello. He is navigating various waterways to FLORIDA!!! He began his journey in Montana!!!

Sir, If by some chance you see this post somehow, happy travels and good luck in your quest!

Heading up stream?
Did you tell him he was going the wrong way

He has it all mapped out. One guy that stopped to chat gave him the map of the Greenway. He is heading upstream to the end. (Actually the beginning) in Trenton.

He better speed up or that water is going to freeze up before he can get far enough South.

I envy anybody who has that much free time and lack of responsibility that they can just jump in a canoe and start paddling America.

i bet he'll be ok. from the direction he was going and his destination, i would wager he is taking the D&R to get to the Delaware and from there travel down to Florida via the ICW which, being saltwater, doesn't freeze up.

sounds like a great time... good weather and easy paddling to you wherever you are, Montana-Florida Canoe Man.
