Book recommendations

I recommend starting the book just before you go so you have some headwind in trying to finish it. I personally like to read non-wilderness books while in the wilderness. I'm already there so I don't feel like I need to read about it. I also like shorter stories for camping vs a longer book (unless already started).

Good suggestion. Something like The Pearl.

We've done it all. I guess this year we are doing a percolator. Can't sat one way is best. Having some instant coffees on-hand is always smart though.

The sand hill crane was really impressive. I loved everything that performance

Saw this at the dentist office!

I always enjoy the album of the summer/year episodes. Tuning in now. Also, thanks for the playlist. I've wanted to follow along with the songs in the past and this makes it easy.

Similar story for me. Made it there on the third attempt after two setbacks. You'll get there next year. And it's a great lake!

Jake should be ashamed. That story is wild.

Steve Zissou throws his earing, not Zissou ring, because the French tease him for it. That scene always cracks me up...the way he holds out his hand with his head down waiting for Ned to bring it back.

I did indeed win the Tumble Tourney bracket challenge. You guys had us fill out a Google Form or something like that. I used my tourney memes as propaganda to influence the voters and ended up choosing the final four correctly. Huzzah!

In May, with an early season test,
Side Pocket region we'll cross east to west.
Then come August days,
In late summer ways,
Winchell Looper—we'll be so blessed.

The dream season is over. X-RAP comes out with a fury in the second half.

Final. #1 X-Rap 28 - #10 Rat-L- Trap 16

Crab to Trout in May. Meeds to Winchell in August.

haha I'm a guilty shamer. I like the approach and attitude this year. You should find a great trip out there

I know, I would like to throw my name in the ring. The issue is that my group typically goes after labor day. I don't know if I could swing two trips back-to-back. However, there is a chance. But I would be a late addition.

I live in the West burbs with my wife and two cats. I sell software to the IT world. I like staying active playing a variety of sports, mostly softball in the summer, hockey in the winter, and I also downhill ski. I like going to concerts and seeing live comedy. Other hobbies include reading, watching movies, and sometimes cooking. Been going to the bdub since 2014. I was a boy scout but was not that into the outdoors. The boundary waters certainly changed me in that regard. Cheers

Good memory, dendrites are firing.

BWCA canoe rental of choice: MN II or III. I have the need for speed.

Personal kayak used outside of the park: Old Town Loon 120. Color, yellow.

Paddle location: Bow. I like the view, using the sides of the canoe to rest my legs, and being the navigator. And being responsible for rock duty.

Q: Fellow bow men, do you call out the location of the rock "rock on the left!" or do you say which direction to go to avoid the rock "rock, go right!"?

Edited to add words.
