Modern-day Tramp Carving Dugout Canoe

21 Jan

We were intrigued by THIS story in the Ocala Star-Banner about a modern-day tramp named Lee Young who is busying himself these days by carving a dugout canoe from a fallen cypress tree he found along Florida’s Ocklawaha River.

Young, who’s exploits include a multi-year horseback trek from Atlanta to New Mexico via Wyoming prior to the “river tramping” he’s doing now, records his adventures on his own web-site, HERE

(We told you he was a “modern-day tramp.”)

Young has been on his river travels since last April and found his canoe-tree last summer.  The Star-Banner’s coverage of Young also includes a photo album with audio of Young.
