Tripper. I'm not even going to begin to explain why. It just is. K

I picked Ancient Angler because I'm ancient and an angler. I've enjoyed pondering the origin of many of the names here. Gives my gray matter some grist for the mill.

Puckster….one of my trip partners who happened to be behind me on some portages one yr suggested Trailwind as a name. He also suggested Whence-Cometh-the-Wind. They just didn't appreciate talent… When I get some time I might change my handle here to MagicLover, as suggested. Good to be back...

Tis no Phantom Jug. A myth of long ago, an old wives tale told to children to keep them from getting up, an apparition seen by the light of the moon after imbibing a bit to much.......

Been gone awhile, and this topic caught my eye. In retrospect I always thought my name on QJ was pretty corny. I set it up shortly after my most recent trip, in which the wind seemed to be constantly in my face regardless of which direction I was headed.
I've always liked Magic Paddler. (love mine, too)

aka Rocks-in-Head, Butt-in-Sling

I always thought wind-in-face involved some kind of flatulence story!

Well my handle is because of my astronomy hobby; stargazer was already taken by someone. My canoeing buddies take me along instead of a star chart in case anyone wants to know where the corona borealis is, or the names of other constellations. starwatcher

My husband was the one who got me interested in canoeing websites, first QJ and then BWCA.com. Mainly because of the photography. Because we are Spartans and a tandem pair (having met initially on the MSU Student Rose Bowl Tour in 1965, being MSU graduates, and having been married since 1967), it just seemed natural that we would be Spartan1 and Spartan2. It's a teamwork thing. Wink

Nice photo Spartan2; looks like you are having a great time enjoying the event. My parents were Spartans also, and my mother was an art student that worked on the original Spartan statue in 1945 that was made out of terra cotta because of the rationing of bronze during the war effort.
