I just wanted to say thanks for this site. I am a newbie here and I would never have found it if I wasn't planning a trip to the area. However now that I have found it I just wanted to mention that unlike any of the other sites I have visited over the years (anybody remember the terms BBS or Sysop) I think that the people inhabiting this one are some of the most comfortable I've run across. There seems to be a lack of attitude here that is hightly prevalent on the others I've been on.  This group is more like the real people I run across in the wilderness, a peaceful calm that shows strength and confidence as a result of solid experience. A genuine cameraderie I don't see much in cyberspace but run across frequently around campfires way out in the wild.  I am looking forward to spending time in your area this summer.  I don't know how many times I'll be returning to the area since I love new vistas and I still have a lot of world left to canoe.  But, I would very much like to be able to stop by this campfire for a long time to come.
