    Thank you for the many leads as to whereabouts of my missing ballast 
rocks. Unfortunately I did not register them or copy down the serial 
numbers. Since they were of Canadian origion, I did not believe that 
anything would ever go wrong with them. I'm inclined to pack my gear and 
head to the boundary waters to search for them after reading that 
beautiful trip report. My boss and my wife do not somehow share my 
urgency. They don't seem to worry about rocks much.......

It isn't likely that the serial numbers would have been too much help
here in the states.  I assume that since the rocks were Canadian,
the numbers would have been metric.  We'd have been trying to
multiply the number by 5/8th's and then adding 32 ... or ...

Yikes.

Sorry. 

I think that's some temperature conversion thing.

See what I mean.
