 unload your gear, drain all water, and inspect for and remove any vegetation. Remember, clean, drain, and dry. Remember to leave plugs out when transporting your boat. Our thanks again to the North Dakota Game and Fish Department for these helpful and simple tips on boating etiquette at the boat ramps. Until next week, here's hoping you're blessed and that you're healthy and that you get out there to get on the water or in the field or in the woods or in the mountains.
