After a long absence, Eagles are again common on the Upper Mississippi River near our home. These stunning birds may be seen nearly anywhere within about 25 miles upstream or downstream from Winona, but one particular small town a few miles upstream, Wabasha, is prime territory. Due to swifter current there, the Mississippi usually remains unfrozen all winter, which attracts large numbers of Eagles from their aries to fish.

As dedicated canoeists, we are deeply concerned with the environment, and we strive to have a positive impact on it.

We recycle cardboard, office paper, aluminum, newspaper, magazines, and appropriate plastics. We ship items in used boxes if we can. We distill and reuse solvents.We discard as little as possible and continually seek ways to reduce waste even further.
