New Loons - If you want to try one of our outings but lack the gear to participate contact Dale or Bill and we can check with the group to see if the proper gear is available for use.

We will be adding a "TIPs" page to the website to provide Camping, Hiking, Kayaking etc. tips. My guess is that not all the tips will be serious in nature. If you have a tip please submit it for publication.

If anyone is interested in carpooling to Canoacopia on Saturday March 13th call or e-mail Cindy. Phone: 426-1663,
