Sounds like a great adventure! Give us a call if you have time in Duluth. Kerry and I may go up to Lutsen mid next week and we may also be in Ely. Have a great trip!

We are leaving Michigan tomorrow and taking our sweet time to get to the canoe country. Will finally arrive at the Gunflint on Saturday and will spend a week at Rockwood Lodge in a cabin with our granddaughter, age 8. This is our fifth year in a row for a cabin week with Anna and we are excited about all of the possibilities.
The next week we will move to a cabin at Shagawa Inn Resort (Ely) and Spartan1 will go out for a five-day guided trip out of Mudro to Crooked with "Go Wilderness Journeys", while I stay at the cabin. He won this trip in the online contest--and Ramsey is going to teach him to fish! Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? We will see. . . .
Finally, we have a permit for Kawishiwi Lake for September 5th and we hope to be out for six days. I am working with some pain issues this summer, so it may be a no-portage trip with some day trips or short excursions.
We won't be getting back home until something like September 13th. We are considering a trip around the north shore of Lake Superior in Canada on our way back to Michigan.
If you see a white Chevy Impala with a beat-up green Bell Northwind on top (flying moose stickers on one end and quiet journey logo on the other) wave to us or stop and say "Hi!"
