The ice is on the lakes, the boats and gear are stowed away, and another season is wrapped up.
We paddled 114 different bodies of water, not a personal best.
Our mileage was just shy of our personal best, because of a late Spring and not much of a Fall.
That being said, we collected over 1500 pounds of trash.
That is over twice as much as any other year.
I leave it up to you to decide what that might mean for our waterways.
My feeling is that if we practice Leave No Trace principles in as much of our lives as possible, we can be good stewards of our world and, hopefully, others will see our example.
