Outfitter of the Week: Love's Canoes

Team Crash cannot always be self-sustaining; the Captain and his faithful sidekicks often rely on businesses and various outfitters to obtain gear, services, expertise, and even food. Once a week-- usually on Wednesdays-- Crash or another member of the team will give a shout-out to an outfitter of some sort who has helped us out in the past and deserves a little free advertising here. Help support them because if they're on here, you know they're top-notch!

Love's Canoes
I decided to throw out a little lovin' for Loves because they allowed me to use their canoe launch when I made my solo journey from Ridgway to Cook Forest. Love's is obviously located in Ridgway and its more or less the only canoe livery operating that far upstream on the Clarion River, which is actually the best part of the river for whitewater and camping. But they're no slouches; they have a decent fleet and are a fully functional livery that will shuttle your ass to make your trip easy. Add to that bike and ski rentals and a store with some hunting and fishing shit and you have yourself a pretty useful stop if you're adventuring around the Pa Wilds and Allegheny National Forest.
