Thanks, I will look into them. The gear I need is a 'lightweight' canoe and paddles. We'll have everything else. (If I fly, though, I won't be taking my fuel canisters. So, that would also be needed.) And, no, I did not know I could pick up the permit through an outfitter. Thank you.  :thumbup

You are most welcome.  Rockwood Lodge (I don't think I mentioned it) is right on Poplar Lake, on the Gunflint Trail out of Grand Marais.  1-800-942-2922.  If I have a lot of questions, I would ask for Mike.

And Mad Mat's suggestions are probably spot on, also.  We have never flown to the canoe country, so I didn't even think of that.   ;)
