If the ugly little "Alligator" Warping Paddlers of Canada have
captured your imagination (as they have mine and Chris Andersen's)then
you will enjoy this URL I just found.

It's the reprint of an article in the North Bay Nugget's (Ontario,
Canada) regional paper "Community Voices" and a column by Doug Mackey
on March 2, 2001.

Here's a follow up article in the North Bay Nugget's (Ontario,
Canada) regional paper "Community Voices" by Doug Mackey talking
about "Woodchuck" one of the last working "Alligators".
