In the last month, I've had three different members contact me by email asking for information on tripping/fishing and another three members asking for the RABC phone number.
What wonderful conversations, information sharing, and back and forth emails with great guys! It's amazing how much in common members of this board have with each other. We are definitely more alike than we are different. And it's our passion for the sport/hobby/escape that makes us a pretty good group to belong to.

Great community, absolutely.
People emailing me, I dont get many. I've had a few emails responding to old posts. I'd say though that meeting MikeInMpls through email has been an absolute joy. We both were brought to the bwca by Cliff Jacobson when we were kids. I didn't know him growing up but image the surprise when we found out we both graduated the same year from the same school. We still talk to this day.

Agree... this is a great community of paddlers and I'm glad folks feel comfortable enough to reach out to others. Them canoeing folks are good folks! :)
Two quick comments...
First, if you don't have your email icon available for others to click and contact you (the little envelope below your name when you post) but you'd like it available, please click "Edit Profile" and unclick the box that says "Hide my email address from others..." (Don't forget to click "Save" when you're done.)
Secondly, regarding the RABC permits, one shouldn't have to call about the permit unless, after a lengthy wait, you still haven't received your permit and you're looking to check on it. Ordering an RABC permit is done quite simply online. I'm glad people like Bobber are willing and able to help.

Thanks again for helping me out, B#3!
Jackfish— If only it were that simple. Many RABCs were issues with errors, sent to wrong emails, or not processed in a timely fashion this spring/summer. And CBSA unfortunately has some pretty serious communications issues. I’ll be filing my application in January this year to avoid the headache!

I'm glad you could call and get things worked out. Quite a change from earlier in the year when people were getting their RABC permit in a week or so!

Always happy to help and/or reply the "axe murderers" out there (inside solo term), and those who travel in flocks. Have had and still do regular contact for information.

Yep. Hastings High School, Class of 1983. We didn't know it at the time what a honor it was to learn from Cliff Jacobson. 90% of how I trip I learned from Cliff. I know you did, too, Dave.

I did indeed rock down to Electric Avenue, but I did not take it higher. I regret that.
