Those of us who were there had a great time visiting about planned and past canoe trips. Some were able to assist others in their planning for this year and beyond. Two things were decided by this years group.

1) We will plan to do this again annually.
2) It will be at a restaurant within walking distance of Midwest Mountaineering.

Each year, admission and parking is free, if you know where to park. I parked about 1 block away.

I also enjoyed the Q History presentation by Jon Nelson, the 50 Routes by Kevin Callan (he's a hoot!), and WCPP by Claire.

While this is different than Copia, each has it's own flavor & personality. I like both!
