Thanks for the nice report... so true about the coffee :) Glad you made it through the storms and fog!

Turns out not where, but who you're with that really matters... DMB

and drinking Nescafe with sugar in it. This "coffee" is undrinkable when not in a third-world country or in the woods, but on a windy point with a good book in the Boundary Waters, it tastes...well, still crappy.

LOL that was good!

bet you had fun in spite of forgetfullness?
cappiest thing I forgot was to take keys out of pickup and I locked it on the door button and went canoeing, got back and the keys were locked in the pickup :)

Glad you had a trip and enjoyed it carmike, but...don't forget the camera next time - I like pictures in a trip report :).

Yeah, I have *no* idea how I forgot that much stuff. Pretty stupid.


And yes, I also much prefer reports with photos. I just figure the lack of photos prevents some people from reading about my idiocy. :)

Enjoyed your report. It sounds like you packed everything on the list, but forgot to put it in the car. I've almost done that...which is why I now have a car packing checklist to make sure everything I packed gets put in the car :).

Yes, it was frustrating to get home and see everything I'd *not* packed still neatly organized, boxed up, and ready to go. At least this trip putting things away was a bit easier...now I know everything is clean, folded, and ready to go. :)
