Re: [Paddlewise] PFD and Lights

   Now I'm really getting confused, even more than usual. Do you have
to be named Craig to use Craigslist? How does Craig find the time to
maintain all those lists? And why isn't there any Bobslist or Fredslist?

   On another note, did anybody paddle I-5 in Washington during the past
week's flooding event? What a golden brown opportunity that was. Apparently
the skiers were out during the snow storm, but the paddlers not so much.
This is so ironic, as the roads are plowed and graveled, but not the
waterways.
