Greetings!
Good day from the End of the Road in Ely, Minnesota.
The ice and snow are finally behind us and we've had a few days of rain that kept the northland from drying out. The water is cold, the fish are biting and our outfitting department is busy sending out canoe campers. Ely is a wonderful place to be in Spring.
Our biggest reason for contacting you today is to let you know that we're having another 10 Day Sale on New Canoes. If you missed out earlier in the year, now is your chance to get the best price of the year on a new canoe when you can save 10%.
We'd like to get your trip pictures and journal accounts of your trips! Email them to our webmaster and we'll share your experiences with others in our newsletter and on Facebook. Thanks for all you who have shared so far.
Ripples
Dreams are like ripples
cast onto the lake's surface:
first followed by many brothers.
Across the lakes of life;
tracing the paths of lures
cast before, breaching the gap.
Closing on promises:
casting for maybe and
the shores of tomorrow.
Picked from the tackle box
for potential. Tied on the
line for possibilities. Flung
toward the sunken trees of life
expecting the undiscoverable.
The ripples continue to take
the lake by surprise as if it had
woken slowly,
stumbling through dawn.
Daring the sun to clothe it in
the horizon's hazy reflection.
Ripples are like dreams.
The lakes are dark and deep.

The Cosmo Insulated Sleeping Pad with Pillowtop cover is the most comfortable and luxurious sleeping matt I've used. Here's what sets this pad above the crowd:
NEMO pad with Pillowtop
· The air chambers run crossways-they follow the curve of your spine; this eliminates the "sinking between the tubes" feeling common to air mats with longitudinal tubes.
· The luxurious polyester microsuede Pillowtop cover (an optional accessory) is a show-stopper. On hot nights you can comfortably sleep bare skin on the Pillowtop cover and use your sleeping bag as a blanket. There is none of the annoying skin-to-plastic feel common to traditional uncovered pads. I have long believed that every sleeping pad should have a porous cover. Again, Nemo got it right. I am aware of only one other high end air-pad (Exped) that has an optional factory cover. Manufacturers please take note!
· The Cosmo is 25 inches wide, about five inches wider than most competitors. Those extra five inches are enough to keep your elbows from sliding off the pad onto the cold ground. I love the extra width!
For decadent luxury, add the (optional) layer of one-inch thick mesh-covered, open-cell memory foam. It rests on top of the pad, under the cover. Ties inside the Pillowtop cover keep it place. Now, you have a super-insulated trail pad that is nearly as comfortable as your mattress at home. When used together-Cosmo air pad, memory foam layer and Pillowtop cover-the comfort and warmth are remarkable. For car camping, or where weight and bulk are no object, use the entire system; for canoeing and kayaking where bulk is more important than weight, remove the memory foam. Ultra light hikers will carry the Cosmo pad alone or opt for the ultra light polyester Slipcover which weighs almost nothing.
