Is anybody doing a trip on Sunday? I have to work on Saturday but was looking forward to being on the water this week.

I am not sure I would put a GPS as a must have, but it is definitely a nice item to have. Electronics's seem to know just when you need it most as that is when it will fail. A chart and compass fits with the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid) unlike a GPS. I have never had an issue with rain, fog, snow the only time that I have issues getting a position fix is when I am in the city. As long as the GPS can see enough of the horizon it will get a position fix, solid objects such as mountains, buildings, overpasses etc will make it more difficult to impossible to get a location fix. -Jason

Please count me in to. I please let me know what I can do to help. Thanks -Jason

The pictures that I took have now been developed and are available online at: [A HREF=http://www.kates.org/pictures/Jason_and_Gina_Kates/Jason/Kayak/NSPN/20041024_Walden_Pond-Greenland_Rolling_Clinic-Cheri_Perry]Walden Pond Pictures[/A] I had a lot of fun and appreciate the introduction to the Greenland paddling style. It was very nice of mentors that took time out of there day to help new people like me. The hot coco and soup were very unexpected but realy hit the spot, they were also great at removing the cold. Thanks to everybody that make the outing so munch fun. Thanks Again -Jason

If there is space I would like to attend. The event sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks -Jason
