RE: [Paddlewise] Nice Knife, I think.

Not all was lost. We visited North Dakota with a Colorado cousin instead,
and then a week later drove to Lake Michigan to camp, play on the lake, and
visit the restored WWII submarine Cobia at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in
Manitowoc, a trip I had been wanting to make for many years. Had fun surfing
some 2.5 to 3-foot breakers at Point Beach in my Romany Explorer. I was very
pleased with the way it handled in the surf -- very controllable (don't get
much opportunity to surf in the Midwest).

Manitowoc built 28 subs during the war, the second shipyard in the U.S. to
build subs, and after trials on Lake Michigan, sent them down the Chicago
River and the Mississippi to New Orleans for final fitting out. 

Did you know the ice cream sundae was invented in Two Rivers, Wisc.?

Actually, you can get into Canada just fine without a passport. It's getting
back into the USA that is the problem. Potential $200 charge if you don't
have the proper documentation (passport or an enhanced driver's license).
Europe opens up; USA closes down.
