Damn, I just saw your post Pineknot. Yeah, you took the pic of me and Luna in the canoe. The others are from 2013 I'm pretty sure. Woodside...... I'd love to get back there with a fly rod in the beginning of June sometime. Could be lots of fun.

Hey, Tom. Very neat article. Curious if that pic was one of the ones we shared on Woodside? Brings back good memories....

Thanks guys! I truly forgot about this so it was a nice surprise for me. Magic, Luna enjoyed your company. The pic I took of you two is my favorite of the trip.

That’s awesome IC! I went just solo in 2017 and really missed not having her along. She gets very happy when we Portage so it kind of takes my mind off the pain just watching her ahead of me having such a great time.

Fun to read about Luna as a travel partner. I have a tall, 60# Munsterlander (German Setter) BLUE who has been kayaking and camping with me for 3 summers in the BWCA and Quetico. He loves to go camping and relishes the comfort of the tent on bad weather days and when he wants to get away from the biting insects. We have the routine down pat and he never tips the kayak when getting in and out; good thing he is nimble. He loves to explore but also seldom strays far enough to lose sight of me. He returns to a sharp whistle if he is out of sight. On suitable shorelines he likes to run the shore, while I paddle along, and will keep it up until he reaches a difficult stretch of rocks, cliffs, or mud. This works great to keep him wearing off excess energy and staying calm in the kayak when paddling. People often meet and pet him when at portages and say they wish they could bring their dog. His company is great when solo camping and I do not know how I got along without a dog for so many years. I did have to get a bigger canoe to fit us and gear in. IC

TomT - A truly exceptional canine & a highlight of our September trip! I suspect that won't be the last magazine she is featured in.... Jimbo

Tom, nice to see you and Luna featured in a canoe magazine.

I had the pleasure of hanging with you both this past late summer on Burntside in the Q ... and I have to say, Luna is the best behaved dog I have ever been around. It amazed me that a border collie was so obedient and easy going. You should be proud.

All I can say is that I got very lucky. She's not a typical Border Collie. She was never a very wild dog even when younger.

But Mike, she's not an angel. Remember when you had all those walleye filets sitting on the rock? Bad Luna! Grin

I still don't know where she poops when we camp. She's never pooped in a campsite in 3 trips with her. I'm starting to think she goes in the woods and digs a hole. Grin
