Really enjoyed getting together at CanoeCopia with the many QJ folks who attended.

It was fun visiting with old and new friends over beers and suppers at the Country Inn & Suites in Mad Town.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again next year.

SAFE PADDLING

Agree with Wally 13 and Marten. The meals were great. Enjoyed visiting with everyone there. Took in 5 presentations, all were good. No purchases, but wasn’t looking to buy anything. Looking forward to next year. Copia is pretty much back to normal. Mike did a great job with the venison chili.

Agree with all that was said. Always great to catch up!!

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.
