I like a spirited discussion as well as anyone, but I also like getting back to the basic reasons why we all gather here.

db, I assume these are your words below, and fine words they are .  Thanks for providing a site where we can all come to discuss Canoe Tripping, Fishing, and Good Cheer.

"QuietJourney is here to help people share knowledgeable, first hand information about Quetico Provincial Park and the Boundary Waters.

QuietJourney was originally inspired by 20 years worth of camping trips to canoe country (some trips were better than others) and remains for those wanting to share their best canoe camping experience. No two canoe trips are alike.
Take a good look around these pages and if they make your trips better, please come back and throw an extra log on the fire."
