The History • Named in honour of Homer Simpson “To succeed despite idiocy”
WARNING: The ice just went out (we hope) on the lake and so the water is just above freezing. We will take some time over the lunch hour to instruct everyone on basic canoe safety and what to do in the event that someone dumps in the water. We have BWCA-experienced assistants on the trip and we will bring special equipment to guard against hypothermia. Despite these precautions, the best preventative is using extreme care and common sense.
