This is a pattern that I'm never without. I rank it up there with the Adams. I'm partial to the parachute version but it really doesn't matter. It's a must have for sure. On a side note, I believe that Gates AuSable Lodge was the original Borchers Canoe Inn, purchased by Cal Gates Sr. Borchers is still there...just upriver, in town. I love how the names of old are still very much part of the local history today. I love everything about that river.
