Shuttle
- I checked out Falls Taxi (715-284-4511) for the shuttle of the two drivers. They charge $1.75/mile. If they charge us the full fare from Black River Falls and back (about 50 miles), it would be $87.50, rounding it up to $100 for a tip, or about $20 each. Seems in line.
- I tried to call the Riverview Inn in North Bend (608-488-5191, http://www.riverviewinn.biz/), they do not open before 5:00 PM Tuesday through Sunday. I will try after 5:00 PM sometime this week.
Ben and David will make reservations at the U of MN Rec Center for a canoe package if they can't borrow one form a friend or neighbor. For the 16'6" Royalex Bell Northwind (almost identical to my Galyan's Woodsman III) it's $35 for the first three days and then $15 for additional days which is hard to beat.

For further information on the Black River see also in Svob's Paddling Southern Wisconsin Black River 5 and 6 for some additional recommendations and a good trip description for the segment we are planning to do. This book is out of print but the link goes to Google Books where one can peruse. By the way both of Svob's books on paddling Wisconsin can be found on the used book market for about double they sold new. Time for a new edition?
