I think you need that Galaxy RWS. You need that so I don't come up there and buy it.

Since this is a sticky'd thread, I have to post something here that really impressed me, something I want folks to know about. on the topic of an upcoming BWCA canoe camping trip. I have been trying to decide if I was going to rent light weight canoes this year or haul our old heavy junk along again this year. Well the trip is getting close, so I have to figure it out. I reserved a cabin for our group with a place called the gunflint lodge up on the gunflint trail near our entry point for our canoe trip. looks like a really nice place. The cabin reservation is for the night before we enter into our trip. This will allow us to get a good rest and start fresh in the morning only a few miles from our entry point. Well this place rents gear like lightweight canoes. So I went to their website this morning and clicked on a PDF link for 2011 rates. Looking for canoe rental rates. Well this got my eyes a little glossy, page 12 on the Rates page for Gunflint Lodge. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/vetdiscount.jpg) How cool is that? I called Gunflint Lodge to check on kevlar canoe rental.
I also asked if they could tell me about the veterans special I saw on their website.
He said it applies to Cabin rates.
He asked me if I was a veteran, I said yes actually, gulf war Marine combat vet.
Asked if I might have something handy that could state as such, I said sure, how about a DD214?
He said bring it, you just got your cabin for half price.
I tell you what, that's a big deal to me, means a lot.
It also helped me decide to leave my old canoes at home and rent from these folks.
Something clever here.

Have fun Bill, keep my cabin clean and save me some bluegills, will ya please?
For anyone wondering why I keep telling Bill to "keep my cabin clean," is because his family and my family are renting the same cabin, several weeks apart. We've been going to Hayward for 6 years now for a week durring the summer. I turned Bill onto this place last year and they like it enough to go back.
It's a great place for a week of fun, good to great fishing, lots of schtuff to do if you get a bug to head to town for the day.
