    Winter Environmental Conference

    Should have posted this earlier but do be it. This is put on by Save the River. I attended last year's on the spur of the moment and really enjoyed it. I can't say how useful it was but I learned a lot. Recommended. Can just show up and register on site...

    Simple Meal Ideas

    I like lightweight; like to bake - bread, muffins, cakes; enjoy the prep and cooking; and always plan dessert.

    Lows Lower Dam Access

    Is the stream from Horseshoe to Big River navigable? Guessing not so much based on Google earth view.

    What are your current solo canoes and how do you like them?

    I have an SR Tranquility which I find fantastic for BWCAW/Quetico, which I find fast and stable even in white caps. I also have a Swift Prospector 14 Pack I use for Adirondack paddling. I like the Swift, but may change it for something in Royalex or T-Formax, so I don't have to worry about...
