Assuming the weather is at least as good as today, I'm thinking a fast run on the Rock from Oregon to Grand Detour. However, am wide open to other suggestions....
So far it sounds great to me but with a relative in town next weekend I can't commit just yet. I live in Rockford and know that paddle fairly well. I'll have...

Six of us paddled in the Apostle Islands this summer and spent most of our time at the eastern islands, most of which don't have bear boxes (or food lockers)....
Steve, Thanks for the persistent leg work on this project. Advocacy and water trail improvement are two of many ways of giving back. Were you thinking of some...
Outer Island is a long paddle from anywhere, so it would be nice to have a box there. I'd benefit, so I'm all for getting this done! :) I'm really thinking of...
I agree with Steve that it's possible for PCP to donate some money for the cost of a bear box in the Apostle Islands. I also understand that we as a club...
Steve, I like the direction you are taking this. I'll be happy to volunteer to help out on the planning and implementation team. Sarah ... to ... done! :) ... ...
Steve, IS PCP recognized as a Not for Profit by the IRS? If so, how about giving new and renewing members an opportunity to donate money on the membership ...
You mention an annual meeting. When, where? This looks like a group I might want to hang around with but it would be nice to put faces with email addresses. ...
Prairie Coast Paddlers' annual meeting will be Jan. 18th probably at 7 or 7:30 til around 10. So far, a particular place hasn't been decided. Suggestions so...
PCP is not a Not For Profit, as far as I'm aware. I hadn't thought about it before but don't see any problem with the group of us coming up with one donation...
John, This is a GREAT group to hang with. I'm a year new to paddling and these guys and gals are super. Looking forward to having you join us. Sarah ... group...
When PCP originated in 1996, charter members were asked to pay a rather high initial membership fee so the club could be incorporated as a nonprofit...
Dan, I didn't realize that part of PCP history. I think it's up to the club, especially charter members that are still around since they paid a higher initial...
Here's an email I received today from Bob Krumenaker, who is the Superintendent at the Apostle Islands. Rita is from the National Parks of Lake Superior...
Does everyone think this is a good idea? Have most of our members been to the Apostles and the outer islands especially ? Just some food for thought. Joe ...
Joe brings up a good point. I believe that perhaps 20 or so PCP members have paddled and camped somewhere in the Apostle Islands. Only the group that went...
That's true - I would bet that the minority of the group has been to Outer, and this was my first visit even after a half-dozen trips. I received these costs...
I'd like to add my thoughts to the question of: "Does everyone think this is a good idea? Have most of our members been to the Apostles and the outer islands...
Thanks Bill! I liked the idea of the bear box and it seemed do-able, so why not give it a try? I'm not a certified instructor, but have learned a lot from...
I tried to put in the Fox River last Sunday in Fox River Grove and was disappointed to see the river almost 100% iced over already. Other than Lake Michigan,...
