The frequency of my wife's canoe trips has declined over the years.  She has a good excuse -- a broken back years before we met continues to make sleeping on the ground a challenge for her.  But after I read Kerry's note, she wants to try again.  I'll pack in a super-duper mattress, as thick and cushy one as I can get (make/model suggestions?).  And I'm getting her new rain gear.  So Kerry, I owe you one. prouboy

That is so good to hear.  Get her the best of everything and make her comfortable.  Nothing beats tripping with the one you love.
