Last fall, I was looking at a move to Sheboygan, WI. It didn't work out, but maybe that was for the best- it appears that I've landed a job in Madison, WI. So.....I'm wondering if there are any Paddlewise folks in Madison, or if any of the northern boating contingent is aware of any clubs, etc. in the area?? Any information would be *deeply* appreciated!! ------------------ "At that moment a black vessel sailing on a cloud appeared and carried off the man's spirit." -Horace Beck, "Folklore and the Sea" *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

I moved to Dayton, Ohio from Madison.... Get 'hold of Carl at Carl's Paddlin' [or maybe it's now "Carl & John's Paddlin' " !!!].

Not sure about clubs, but I'm sure you can get info from Rutabaga...they're the most complete outfitter/shop I've come across in WI, they're based right in the heart of "mad town". Once you get settled into the state, you'll find fantastic opportunities on both the Great Lakes, as well as some really nice inland lakes..my personal favorite is the Willow Flowage located "up north". Its like being in Canada, but only 4 hrs from my door in Milwaukee. Joe > Last fall, I was looking at a move to Sheboygan, WI.

Todd, There are a lot of paddlers in Madison, not sure about Paddlewisers. There is a local club, The Mad City Paddlers, of which I am not a member. http://www.geocities.com/yosemite/falls/1922/ The U of Wisc. also has an organization which is open to those not affiliated with the UW, again I know of them, but I guess I'm not a "joiner". I know they are involved in various trips and activities. A search for the Wisconsin Hoofers Outing Club should get you some info. Lotsa water around, two good paddleshops to leave your money at. Plus Madison is a good town. I've often heard it described as having the same feel as Ann Arbor, and Austin, being the state capital, and home to a major university. Feel free to e-mail off-list, if you have any questions. > Last fall, I was looking at a move to Sheboygan, WI.
