We probably could have, if we'd have known early enough.
IRKPA was paying for the NPS to be at Canoecopia this year including lodging, transportation, meals ect. All travel had to be approved from the Regional NPS person. (IR's people had nothing to do with him not being there). I don't know their justification for this as it was not costing the NPS directly. His request for travel was not approved.
Trying to get anyone to make a quick decision in the Federal government is not a common thing to have happen. :roll:

So have Malone Bay and Amygdaloid Ranger stations been closed throughout this season as of now? I know Ranger Carl no longer operates out of Amygdaloid due to his retirement (looks like he picked a great time to leave), but Ranger Jeremy as been at Malone Bay for quite some time now. Does anyone know if he got repositioned? He was really nice to Shelly and I during our visit to Malone last year.
