If you do get rained out, you want to be able to at least go hiking. I have a nice rainsuit from Columbia that go for about $30 for pants and jacket. Stuffs real small. I'll also keep a pair of Goretex socks in the same stuff sack. Think about bringing a small trap or something if you get weatherbound. The Clip Flashlight is a nice tent, but I wouldn't want to get stuck in it for a couple days. Also, giving credit where it's due, the guidebook is by Bill Newman and Sarah Ohmann. This year has been great for northern lights so keep your eyes opened. We had light shows for three nights this past weekend in the Apostle's and I hear they were even visible from just outside the Twin Cities. -Patrick *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Aug 16 2000 - 09:52:25 PDT
