You said ......" Next year can't come too soon. Whenever you look at the moon on the clouds, or into a fire, or see geese riding high in the sky, I’m with you. We are one...... or maybe we're seven."

I think you are wrong about just the 7 enjoying the outdoors and right now I would be willing to say 68 & Bearridge...Not counting your Bear.

Thank's Jack, you Silver Tounged Devil! You brought some pleasant memories back of a trip I had thru Algonquin with some friends. One of them gone now. I needed that tonight here at Ice Station Zebra.---Jim.

Thanks Jack sounded like a great trip. I have good friend that has a cabin in McKinnley, I spend many weekends there in the summer. I have only paddled locally there and am looking forward to some longer trips this year. Duane
P.S. I got the keys to his place.

Haven't been on it yet, and may have missed my chance. What was the outcome of the oil drilling issue?
