Just wanted to note that the play about Dorothy Moulter, The Root Beer Lady, is at Northern Sky theatre, near Fish Creek in Door County, November 5, 6, and 7 (at 7:00, 4:00, and 2:00). It's a theatre that I consulted on the design and planning and is really quite nice.

Too bad. I looked forward to it for the past 25 years. All good things must come to an end.

You all should form an Interagency squirrel and mini-bear agency.

I don't have a problem of combined weight being near 100% but depends some on how that canoe manufacturer rated it. When I've shopped for canoes, I probably aim for 80 to 85%.

No. They just list the ones that last an hour.

Listened to science Friday on local NPR station. Interview with person who conducted tests for the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee in Montana. He talked about 2 "problem" bears shipped there from Alaska. They load the containers with "fish, honey, and dog food" and then measure "contact...

I started canoeing in Question. Have mostly canoed BWCA and Quetico. What I find great are the large variety of places to go. I pick an entry and a first day direction and take a bunch of maps and plan as I go. So many places you have a narrow set of choices and basically follow a trail. It...

I'm planning to sell my Swift Prospector 14 Pack. Catalog weight of 29 pounds. Way upstate NY but frequently in northern PA.

Good question. Seems like a layup that uses less expensive fabric or maybe fewer heavier layers.

And I think Beans was the only store in town. Now it's full of other retail.

Off topic but we lived not far from Freeport from 78 to 82, and had visited before that and occasionally since but probably not for 10 years. I suspect the new store you visited was a replacement for the new store we saw under construction. I still miss the "original" 70's store - when Beans...

Thank you. Still intrigued by 26. So if you go to the hotel for dinner, can you be picked up on the way back to camp for PWI? :)

Thanks! Just what I was looking for.

Thinking of paddling and staying a few nights on Stillwater. Was looking at the sites at eastern end like 25 or 26. Any recommendations?

At least we're avoiding the innie outie debate. :)

It's not sap. It's the PU coating. Hasn't become "flaky" yet. I might just replace. AI based on Big Agnes site suggests: Wash it: Hand wash the footprint in a bucket with a mild, non-detergent soap (like Nikwax Tech Wash) to remove the degrading, sticky residue. Re-waterproof: Once the old...

Copper Spur - tent and fly are ok but ground cloth is getting very sticky. Worth washing with detergent and retreating? Will bring stored hanging unstuffed (in dry basement) prevent this? My Eureka Timberline - quite a bit older - has not had this problem. And I'm good at airing before...

Don't seem incompatible. Camper there as a teen in the 1960s. Sad to see it close but things change. Maybe I'll get to camp there again.

Friday worked at removing old and rotting steps at landing at Mcassland Bridge. Rest of volunteers arrived between 4 and 5. One couple did same werkend as I did last year. They also have completed NFC and are heading to Quetico. A hearty pair. Three groups Saturday: new stairs at landing...

Was a slow day. Chill out but still very warm. Decent breeze kept bugs off till just this minute. Staff and 3 interns all here in full working mode. I went into Saranac to get water for group. St Regis Canoe Outfitters are just great. Wonderful people. Let me fill up two 5 gallon jugs and even...
