[Rhodes22-list] Apostle Islands

[Slim]

Todd,

Probably not again this year.  My wife's a school teacher so it's pretty
hard for her to get away until next summer.  As it is, she's planning to
take a couple days off to travel with me to Nova Scotia in Sept.  We loved
the Apostles though and we'll certainly be back some day.
