no Just a rant New

From: mtnsurgtech

I was driving down the river/creek above the put in on the Naty and what did I see, a new building and miles of fence on the creek.  And what is it, a new NOC store.  Its nice to see that an organization that puts on such a face of protecting the rivers builds another store and fences off a prime fishing creek (Im not even a fisherman).  I guess NOC has been having money problems and needed more sources of income since you can only walk down the river on their rafts five days a week not seven. It advertizes itself as a multi sport resort now which means its just another corparate giant doing whatever to make money.  Obviously subaroooo isnt doing their share *ha ha*.  Over the years Ive gotten a lot of good instruction at NOC and spent way too much of my money there. It seems recently (to me at least) that the quality has gone down in favor of being bigger and bigger.  Time to find another place to shop I guess.
