Short: Sittin' On Top of the Bell Curve

Darren Bush has a rule about gifts. He won’t sell anything that was given to him. And, when the time is right, he will give that item to someone else. With one carbon-fiber paddle, that time came on a trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Darren Bush is a writer, hospice chaplain, avid paddler and owner of Rutabaga Paddlesports in Madison, Wisconsin. ___________________________ *** We need at least 200 of you to step up and join the Points North Fan Club by the end of the year!
