Just want to add my two cents about the meetings on Friday and Saturday. It was a lot of fun and gave me a chance to really get to know some of the members. Even though I am primarily a base camper, I felt welcomed. The more informal dining arrangements made it very easy to mingle and move around the room. Plus, my wife could leave and go to her room when she didn't want to participate any longer. Because the members were staying in the same motel, we could gather for a free delicious breakfast to continue our discussions.

Two facts I learned at Canoecopia which may be of interest to other members. Robin Gibbs, park superintendent, said that 70% of the visitors to Quetico enter from the south and 30% from the north. Stu Osthoff during his presentation noted the change in why people come to the BWCA/Quetico. Several years ago, 80% of his guests said that fishing was very important to them. In recent years only 30 to 40% said that fishing was very important to them. This is especially interesting since Stu Osthoff is noted for being a fishing guide. By the way, Stu is a base camper who doubles or even triple portages.

You weren't wrong. Perhaps mis-rememderred as I seem to increasingly, but not wrong.

So was I half right or half wrong, excluding spelling?

I was thinking as to why Robin seemed half right. Previous superintendent was Robin Reilly.

Bill You are correct. Wasn't Robin Gibbs a member of the Bee Gees from years ago.

Just to clarify, the superintendent is Trevor Gibb. Seemed to be a good guy and up to the job. (Despite seeming he was young enough to be my grandchild. Oh my.)

I'll add my thanks to all who helped make the weekend with fellow QJers a great one. Good discussions, good food, good fellowship. The forum is great, but catching up in person makes it more fun and personal. I hope to see you guys next year....or better yet somewhere on the water. pd

Thanks Mulelars. It all worked out great -- both the QJ parlor and the downstairs meeting room. It was good to connect with new & old QJ acquaintances!
