Sea Kayak Upper Wisconsin Dells! -Saturday November 4, 2017

Note: Due to illness in my family (some have the flu), I really cannot be away from home for the entire day. Therefore, I need to cancel our Dells trip for Saturday. Hopefully, we can try this again in spring. I look forward to paddling together next time we gather on the water.
