My wife has often rolled her eyes just a bit when I bring up news or stories or tips from this site. Lately, she's been coming around to realize its value. This story put her over the top. Another believer!

Great story! There was another one earlier this year where someone left a chair on Kawnipi and another person retrieved it for them as well.


Thanks everyone for being such great people!

I may consider an October solo to Louisa. Now I have a reason.

I think most filters are ruined if they are subjected to freezing temps...so this rescue mission may have an expiration date!

Post this in the lost and found as well so that more folks see it. Someone may still have a Quetico trip or two planned for the fall. I hope someone picks it up for you!

Click the little envelope below my user name and it should open up an email.

ISRO... if you would like your email (the little envelope) available to others on the board, go to your profile and "unclick" the box about hiding your email address.

ISRO is an A+ class man,
He found my Platypus, contacted me, Fedex it to me and would not even let me pay for the shipping, just asked to pay it forward.
Amazing community.
Thanks again ISRO.

This is an amazing ending to a great story about this community of paddlers. There are good people in this world and ISRO is one of them. Great job!
