Two events have caused me to redesign Yackman.com.   First, I had to find a new server to host Yackman because my original hosting server at MobileMe stopped offering this service on June 30, 2012.  Second, Apple will no longer support iWeb, the software used to create this version of Yackman.com.  I have found other software and am building a new website.  But what to do with five years of trip and gear reports, book reviews and guest blogs?  My solution is to archive the old site at YackManArchive.com while hosting the new site at the original YackMan.com.  I will transfer some of the reports and data over to the new design, but many items will remain on the archive site.  I will link to these items from the new YackMan.com.  I will take a few days to get the new site up loaded.  Until then, you will find this original site at both URLs. 

Yackman’s Photo Albums Collections of photographs, mostly mine, from various trips.Albums/Albums.html

    Yackman has moved from beautiful (but cold and snowy) upstate NewYork to the Treasure Cost of Florida.  If you are a Snowbird, look here for information on Paddling in Florida as you prepare for a winter visit.  “Homesteaders” - full time Florida residents, may also find useful information here as well.  And anyone can always email me to go paddling.
