Also, riveted aluminum boats can develop. Transportation and preparation not included. Strong enough to be trailered, and are fully capable of surviving the rigors of the road. In addition, they wanted it to look like a boat, not a barge. Our 18 foot boats are small enough for easy handling and big enough to handle the job. That is a lot to ask of a very small boat, but we have the answer. Filter Results Showing 1 - 15 of 20 results. which does not include passengers, aftermarket boating accessories, or fuel. Carries Pedal & Inflatable boats up to 16' 800 LB Capacity. Hope to see you soon at Wednesday Nite The Lab.14 aluminum row boat. The Project focuses on bringing university resources and DNA technology into collaborations with the Department of Defense and with host countries, including most recently France and Belgium. The MIA Project seeks to speed the recovery and identification of remains of US armed forces. Next week ( September 4) we commemorate the 80th anniversary of the beginning of WW2 in Europe as Chris Zaczyk of the Biotech Center tunes us in to the next stages of the “Missing in Action” Project here. He joined the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey in 2001 where he works as a hydrologist. He then earned his MS and his PhD in Geophysics here at UW-Madison. He served in the Peace Corps as a science teacher in Botswana. Sometimes, you gotta just go with the flow.ĭave Hart studied Physics and Math at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. Another surprising confluence of coincidence is that Bea recently travelled to Botswana, which is the country where Dave served in the Peace Corps some 30 years ago. Bea Mumm, of Bloomington in Grant County, will be your emcee. This week I’ll be in the Boundary Waters, paddling on the Kawishiwi River, portaging into Lake Insula, and on to Eddy Falls.
And here all along I thought the county was named for Ulysses S. One such stream is the Grant River in Grant County, as it flows through the woodlands and fields and pastures on its way to the Mississippi.Īppropriately enough, Grant River and Grant County were named for a long-ago trapper who had a cabin on the river.
He’ll give a river talk - specifically, to show us how he and his team have tricked out a canoe with sensors of all sorts to record streams of data about the stream upon which they float their boat. This week ( August 28) Dave Hart of the Wisconsin Geological & Natural History Survey will be here to tell a different kind of a canoe-borne story. It’s the kind of year when Stuart Little would have had little difficulty paddling away in his murine craft Summer Memories, if only EB White had been so kind to have set the story in the Driftless. A serious drought year, one like 1988, can reduce even sizable rivers like the Rock to shallow rivulets where a paddler steps out one’s Grumman canoe to drag the silver hull across a stretch of wet stones in search of a passable channel.īut late summer of 2019 has been a good season to float your boat downstream, with rivers flush with waters from creeks that drain fields and forests, and with waters from springs that flow forth from aquifers that reach far back up into the hills. In contrast, a dry year can leave a smaller stream but a limpid ribbon. It’s been a wet year, and in Wisconsin the creeks and rivers still flow strong through green coulees and greener valleys. We slide towards the end of August, we glide towards the ending of summer. Please stream to your friends and neighbors.
