Jimbo -- GREAT story!  You're fearless.  I love it.

I will admit to a great anxiety during my first trip into the BWCA.  Went in on Round Lake, and just screamed through the trip til we took out at Seagull.  Was always worried about getting lost, intimidated by the big water, and in general just intimidated by the "wildness" of it all!  I couldn't wait to get back to a road, a truck, and civilization.  Ugh.

Not a "funny" story, but it fits in the embarrassing category I guess.
