Wow! Thanks to those who said kind things about me. Particularly welcome from folks who appreciate sleeping on the ground in the rain (among other things). As Spartan2 said, been a rugged couple of years here and I have not kept up on a number of things as my attention was turned to other matters. Starting to load the truck today. Off shortly to Michigan, then to Ontario, to Minnesota, back to Quetico, Duluth then home. The Outdoor Writers Association of America is meeting in Duluth and I am taking some friends from the organization into Quetico for a brief trip before the conference (can you believe some folks have to work? Terrible!) (How's that for rubbing it in?)
Later in the year to Alaska and Montana. So, I'm getting back into the swing. And I was complimented Spartan1 and Spartan2 wanted to include me in their swing through the SE. We had a delightful day together. Nice folks.
