This weekend we drove over to Spokane to see my parents and to relieve them of a surplus canoe. Which meant, on the way back, we got to engage in some prime Americana: roadtrip in a smallish car with a canoe strapped to the roof.

All in all I'm very satisfied with how it worked, and I'm quite confident we can move the canoe around reliably using our car. Which is good, because there are very few bodies of water within portage distance. Now to get some practice and start moving up towards some of the river trips I'm interested in.
