Dear Bruce, Thank you for your thoughtful post ("laying bare your soul") about nature study trips and 'gators. I admire people like you (and me) who make career choices based on compatibility with their value system rather than on the opportunity to make lots of money. I don't mind the explosion of paddling, because I don't find large crowds in the places I paddle (rivers and lakes in northern/central California) and I'm glad to have a little company. The explosion is what caught me, and I enjoy meeting and communicating with others who love being on the water in a paddlecraft. BijiliE << And now that I have laid bare my soul in this embarrassingly long post, I would ask a question of the Paddlewisers. How do you feel about the explosion of this activity and does it detract from your reason for paddling? *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Sep 21 1999 - 22:22:33 PDT
