This is giant event where people in the "biz" get together to exhibit or shop new products, take in seminars and generally gather in one spot and get the "vibe" for the upcoming months in outdoor industry. Or as John Rogers, the owner of the Maine Running Company in Portland, ME., put it, "Outdoor Retailer is the show to find the legitimization of products and new brands for the outdoor specially channel..

Well, I finally have 107 Door County Sea Kayak Symposium pictures ready. This was an interesting symposium season for me personally this year, especially the last two where I actually only did one class with one student. No kidding. At Door I spent the whole of the event doing day trips. Not a bad way to spend your time actually. In the course of three days I paddled each side of the peninsula and the tip from Death's Door to Washington Island. Suffice to say, out of the 107 pics, very few are from the actual symposium!!]]> http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2011/07/21/complex-problem-solving/feed/ 5
