What A Trip!

We just had an AWESOME trip on the Chippewa River in Mt. Pleasant, MI this past weekend. Not a cloud in the sky, fast water, good food, and 50 degrees in March! You really couldn't have asked for a better day. There were a total of 9 Adventurers and 3 Guides on the trip. We posted a brief video of the trip on YouTube (click here) so be sure to check it out!

We hope to see you on our next Adventure coming up in Canada!

Chippewa River Paddle - This Weekend!

Should be a great weekend to paddle this majestic river that feeds us right into downtown Mt. Pleasant. We will be on the river around 5 hours...maybe less as the river is quite high right now because of all the snow run-off and rain. We will be sure to post some trip pictures next week, and of course brag about all of the fun we had!

Pine River Construction - 2009

If you plan on paddling the Pine River in 2009, the Post is for you!

P.O.A. was checking in with the Baldwin Ranger Station today and received some information regarding updates and construction that will be taking place on some of the bridges/landings along the Pine River this year. According to the Ranger Station, they don't have a finalized schedule of all the access sites yet, but here is what they know:

May 1 - June 26: Low Bridge access site will be closed. Paddlers must take out at Peterson prior to June 26 (or completion if delayed).

September 14 - ?: Peterson Bridge Access site will be closed. Paddlers must take out at Dobson or Low Bridge after September 14 until completion of site.

The Ranger Station hopes to have a more detailed listing of construction and dates before the official paddle season kicks off on May 1, 2009. Once we find out more information, we will be sure to post it here. However, if you are heading up there for some late winter/early spring paddling, be sure to contact the Ranger Station for up to date info: (231) 745-4631.

Adventure's Snowmobile Trip

Hello Outdoor Enthusiast! It has been a bit since our last post, but I can assure you we've been enjoying our time off... Here are some great pix of a group that we took to the Upper Penninsula of Michigan for 2 full days of snowmobiling on some of the best trails that the Mid-West has to offer. Be sure to contact us if you ever have the "need for speed" and are looking to get on that Arctic Cat, Ski Doo, Yamaha or Polaris. Hope to catch you out in the snow.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2008 was a great year for P.O.A. We have lots to look back on and talk about. From South Bend, IN to Ontario, Canada (and plenty of trips in between) we have countless pictures and stories to share on our many trips to come. Thanks again to all of you who took and Adventure with us in 2008, and hope that we can see you again in 2009. For those of you that didn't get a chance to join us this past year, we look forward to making new friends and sharing in new Adventures this coming year. Be sure to keep an eye on our website for upcoming Trips and Adventures!!!

I will leave you with a great quote and a question to ask yourself in the upcoming year: "There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't." - William Trogdon.

Come find an Adventure with us! Best of Luck in 2009 and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Adventure On,
