Thanks for posting the pictures, Twinb. 

We had a nice time at your pizza party, and enjoyed seeing our QJ friends again, plus meeting a few new ones.

Actually had a wonderful time at all three days of Canoecopia.  I have my favorite things that I will NEVER miss:  Always take in a presentation or two by Kevin Callan, always have a dish or two of that wonderful Zanzibar chocolate ice cream, always go to the Aluminum Chef Competition, and always attend all three performances of Jerry Vandiver and his group--so much fun!  But our tradition of seeing our QJ friends at dinner on Friday and our BWCA.com friends at dinner on Saturday makes it all very special.  Online paddling friends are still friends.  And even when your wilderness tripping days are done, you never lose your love for the canoe country.

We'll be on the Gunflint in July for our annual cabin week, and we'll plan to be at Canoecopia again next year.
