Hi, thanks for stopping
in for a visit. My name is Jim Sharp. I am a retired school
teacher who was fortunate to work in the same school for 30 years.
I was also fortunate to canoe, bike, and camp in the U.S. or Canada nearly
every summer. I would like to offer some tips that I/we (the we being
my brothers and friends), have learned over the years to help make the
camping experience more enjoyable. This site has two areas I hope
you find helpful. Camping Tips for canoeists, and an account of a
Bike/Camping trip covering the 184.5 mile length of the C&O Canal.
Also, in the Other Stuff Directory, I have described many other camping
and bike trips, as well as a Fish Gallery containing photos of fish that
were caught by family and friends. Please Consider Book
marking this page because it takes
a while to go through all the tips and to follow the 6 day trip we made
on the C&O canal Towpath.
