Tomorrow I am going canoeing on the upper Saint Croix River on a six hour trip out of Ameland (Wild River State Park). I'm going with a group of master naturalists. I think I am ready. I have my life vest, chaco sandals, dry bag, dry fanny pack, extra large sun hat, quick dry pants, shirt and underpants, lunch (tofu, pistachios, persimmon, cauliflower - and yes, I know I eat weird), drinks (coffee, water, strawberry cinnamon kefir), camera, binoculars (can't find my good ones!), camera (charging now), $10 (what a deal!), and am I missing anything? I think I am ready. Can. Not. Wait. My date is Glennie who was also my canoeing partner when we canoed the Mississippi River Bottoms near Winona at the Master Naturalist convention. She knows how to steer. I think I will let her have the stern with my new hip and all. Oh, the camera is charging. I hope I remember that. Might have pics tomorrow if I remember the camera.
