Short listed entry to the Kentucky National Paddling Film Festival will be
simulcast and then continuously available starting at 12 noon Saturday

some amazing wilderness.
I thought the name was the Bowern Lakes or the Bowern Chain Lakes, but

It's freezing here in NH and I'm looking towards Spring.  I need some
