I will be at the Expo on Saturday with a tripping buddy of mine. Won't stick around for dinner but maybe next year (hard to turn down BBQ). I will keep an eye out for anyone with QJ stuff on. You can spot me by looking for a younger guy with no dreadlocks and not wearing a kilt, got to love those young kids at midwest mount. Looking forward to the speakers and trying to pick out that crazy Marlin out of the crowd.

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!
