them Okee Dokee Brothers got me a grinnin' and a tappin' my toe and yes I do canoe!

Lynda - true... I will likely be far from you so no worries, and no offense taken, I completely understand your point of view, mine is similar. I don't even like to hear loud talking or constant jabbering between partners in a passing canoe. One thing that attracts me to the place is the solitude. I wouldn't want to ruin that for anyone else but I also would like to make my experience as rich a possible and I think a little picking and strumming might add to the richness.

Not sure about the pipes though. I like them, could be interesting, we'd probably drive a few more folks out the park forever, maybe not a bad thing!
