    Harley, Thanks. Are there details of the logistics Ie. put in, any car shifting, getting back to vehicle. Or is it a loop paddle, end up where you put in? Sorry for the 20 questions, Dave

    I'm interested. Is this a 'paddle' in hang, or a 'base camp' hang and paddles on Woods Lake (part of Peshtigo River Flowage)? Either way will work, just curious.
    Thanks
