We have camped at Bon Echo many times, but before finding the "Happy Camper" badger paddle we did not visit the park yet this year. After finding the paddle and not camping out that night, we felt the need to return and make it legit....

Since I didn't find a Badger paddle this year - guess, I'll have to ask for one for Christmas?!?!!...

Can't get enough of the northern wilderness...
Okay, I know aluminum canoes don't get repaired like some other types but I had to use this canoe- it's got history. 46 years old - bought by my parents when they got married. It was this canoe that: taught me to paddle (along...
