Other than paddling, what hobbies do you enjoy? More hobbies than I ever have time for these days. We've had a blast snow-shoeing this Winter and in warmer months I use my free-time to landscape, garden and watch over the pigs.
Tell us something about yourself that most people don't know (unusual skill, second language, ancestry, etc.) Most people don't know that I was with the US Ski Patrol and went to school in Bozeman, Montana (so that I could be only a few minutes away from a slope!)
Do you belong to any paddling clubs or associations? Water Divas!
When did you first try paddling, and who introduced you to the sport? Have always canoed but I think my first kayaking experience was on vacation in Mexico 20 years or more ago.
What kind of boat(s) do you own? My tried and true old time Sea Otter and a newer boat from Scheels in Eau Claire but unfortunately I can't get at it to double check the make/model. Ed's got it hung up high in the barn.Tell us something about yourself that most people don't know (unusual skill, second language, ancestry, etc.) Most people don't know that I was with the US Ski Patrol and went to school in Bozeman, Montana (so that I could be only a few minutes away from a slope!)

What's the longest paddling trip you've ever been on? Overnighters
What memorable places have you paddled? What did you enjoy most about it? Crazy as it sounds the Red Cedar is one of my favorites floats. As far as actually using my paddles, I think the Namekagon trip was a blast.
What would you consider to be the ultimate paddling adventure? I've been reading about some great trips in China and India but they'll need to stay fantasy trips for the time being. I would like to do more paddling on Lake Superior, near Port Wing, etc.
What has been your worst paddling experience? Some cold rainy trips but nothing horrible, yet.
Do you have big paddling plans for 2008, or in years to come? Being just a few short years from retirement all I'm doing right now is arm chair traveling and planning. Quite fun.
