“I see that the OC1 book has made the website, so send it here now! Seriously, if you have my card data, just put my copy in the mail today as the OC6 Paddlers Guide Book, wrapped me up for a good hunk of time, it was great! Speaking of ‘wrapped’ I have never gotten a book in the mail that was so well packaged.” Chuck from Canada
