Travis Barrett has a good story about his first canoe launch of the season. He remembers a little too late what happens when you forget to account for strong winds. He didn't dump the boat but had to add a hike to his itinerary.

Carey Kish has started a weekly feature called the Weekend Adventure Planner. Each Thursday he is going to highlight someplace you can try during the weekend. If you're looking for ideas, Carey has some great ones for you.
