While all of you good folks in the north watch your pipes freeze, perhaps someone could take a moment to send along some recommendations on the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Minnesota? We have friends in Minneapolis and would like to justify a trip to see them this summer with something important - like a new paddling experience. I have looked at the related GORP pages and at some of the outfitters they list, but I'd really appreciate some personal observations and recommendations. And while I'm at it, I'd like to add my thanks to Jackie for making this list possible and everyone on the list for their shared knowledge, humor, and friendship. Jackie has always been supportive and helpful (on and off list) with this not-so-newby. We have made new friends met through this list. And we have learned more about paddling than ever would have been possible without all of you (sorry Dana, "Ya'll"). I subscribe to several lists relating to other interests. PaddleWise is, without a doubt, the most informative, "on-topic", and civilized of any I have seen. That is a tribute not only to Jackie but to everyone in our community. May all of you have a great Holiday Season and stay safe.
