Canoeing Indiana Knowledge Base
Camping with canoe trip that allows alcohol? In Indiana.? Turkey Run would be my first choice, but there are no available campsites. Campground is a must. Preferably a State Park. Or east Illinois or west Ohio. Its more a general policy by say a canoe rental place. I just want to avoid any troubles.
Is it possible for a manatee to be in an Indiana river - the White River in Indianapolis? I know I saw one.? I was in my canoe paddling downstream and saw a large ripple, about 2-3 ft high heading towards me, spreading out for 15-20 feet. As I went past the wake, I saw what I first thought was a huge turtle, as a hump became evident. I put on my electric motor and circled, keeping a distance of twenty feet away. No head, no tail, no dorsal fin, and the hump was not a shell, but a smooth, mottled mound. Whatever it was never turned, never dived under, never varied its speed, which was whatever the lowest speed on my motor was. I kept with it for almost twenty minutes. Finally, I had to go back in and no one I talked to about this can think of what it could be. Just read about a manatee in the East River in NY and I realize that the manatee would be much more likely to be on the east coast instead of inland Indiana but....? PS I've considered it may have been some ghastly mechanized hoax but , once again....?

What to do after exercising when i feel hungry? I am a 5'3" 21 year old college female who is trying to lose weight. I am currently at 165 pounds and would like to reach 150 one of these days. I bought myself a bia body fat analyzer. I have been trying to exercise every other day for 45 minutes doing different activities. Yesterday i went on a 3 mile hike and canoeing at a state park in indiana. I am feeling the aching today. Anyways i am finding that after i workout throughout the day, i am finding myself hungry after dinner and this results in snacking, which is probably counteracting my exercising. I've had the bia scale for 3 weeks and from now until then i have increased my fat % from 32% to 34%, decreased by muscle % from 34% to 32% and lowered my total body water % from 48.9% to 47%. Now these are not drastic changes, but im wondering what i can do about the snacking at night so that i dont gain any more weight and more importantly lose fat.
where should i move to? my parents are moving to MI, i currently live in IN, and when they move, i'm not going to move with them. I'm still in college, i LOVE the outdoors, hiking, canoeing, riding my bike... anything outside is great. i can literally move anywhere. anyone got any sugestions? i just need to get out of indiana. please tell me where you think i should move to and why, thanks!

I peeled vegetables, washed dishes, and scrubbed floors until I almost did them in my sleep. . . . Evenings I took advantage of the many educational advantages offered to the enrollees.

We cannot help those who will not try to help themselves and if they do try, a square deal is all they need, and by the way that is all this country needs or ever has needed: a square deal for all and then, let each paddle their own canoe, or sink. There has never been any necessity for any one who is able to work, being on relief in this locality, but there have been many eating the bread of charity and they have lived better than ever before. . . . During the worst of the depression many of the farmers had to deny their families butter, eggs, meat, etc. and sell it to pay their taxes and then had to stand by and see the dead-beats carry it home to their families by the arm load, and they knew their tax money was helping pay for it. . . . The crookedness, selfishness, greed and graft of the crooked politicians is making one gigantic racket out of the new deal, and it is making this a nation of deadbeats and beggars and if it continues the people who will work will soon be nothing but slaves for the pampered poverty rats and I am afraid these human parasites [people clinging to others for their own advantage] are going to become a menace to the country unless they are disenfranchised [denied the right to vote].
