Met my wife at the old Associated Colleges of the Midwest (now Coe) Field Station at the edge of the BW on Low Lake summer 1993. Here we are heading out together- she has since upgraded her rain gear. Note duct tape patch on Duluth pack.

Circa 1976 Carp Lake heading into Emerald in Quetico. A "few" items to note making this a vintage photo, one is my waist size of 27 inches at the time, (not so much any more) and the long blond hair of the 70's! Ha!
Lake voyage in a canoe is always better when shared with others, either during or after the trip

Lightfoot: " "
I still use an Alumacraft canoe and love it for a number of reasons, preferring it over the kevlar ones I've paddled on a couple of trips. True, on a long hilly portage the Alumacraft is less comfortable to carry, but those portages are not common for me and just a small portion of the trip when we DO encounter them. With a weight to my Alumacraft of under 70#'s, I can bear with it when needed.
