You're some tough cats to do that!

I will paddle eternal, Kevlar and carbon.

Thanks for that report. I think I would have seriously considered doing this until I read the part about there being no portage marked for Pidgeon Falls! I'm sure I'd miss the portage and take the shortcut over the falls. The Grand Portage must be a complete thrill to finish. Congrats!
