06/21/2014 05:18AM Jackfish, Yes I came out a few days early. Was tired of battling the wind and crazy weather. Home now, more later...... Saw your note, thanks for thinking about me. --Goose |

06/20/2014 09:32AM Goose, are you back? Your truck was gone when we came out. Wondered why you left early. Hoping that you didn't have problems. |

06/05/2014 11:46AM Amhacker, sorry I will miss you. I will probably be heading from eastern Quetico Lake over to Burntside on the 12th, but you never know. Enjoy Jean -- she's a great lady. --Goose |

Sadly, I was mistaken. We're getting to I-Falls on the 11th, but entering on the 12th. It looks like you'll be on your own! We're going in at Quetico and then heading over to Jean for a few days. Its kind of a short trip, but you do what you gotta do! I can't wait. Enjoy your trip! |

Last time I used a headnet was about 5 years ago, but I will be bringing along, just in case. (BTW, that was one day between Gardner Bay and Brent, through Cone -- vicious swarming skeeters.) --Goose |

06/03/2014 08:38PM Goose, First, let me thank you for all your helpful input and trip reports. I look forward to hearing from you after the trip. Second, I appreciate your persistence in tripping in spite of your back problems. Third, our group goes I on Friday through Pickerel and back out the same so we won't meet on this trip but I hope to have he pleasure in the future. For now, I wish you quiet water and many fishes. Enjoy every moment. |

06/03/2014 06:38PM Last minute advice: Have lots of fun, enjoy yourself, be safe and catch lots of fish. On your return post a great trip report with lots of photos. |

Be there at first light and help me portage my gear! lol. You going into Cirrus or Quetico, and do you have to stop at the Ranger's? Lot is big. Have a good trip! --Goose |

06/03/2014 03:38PM Ahhh, Beaverhouse. The land of sky blue waters. That's probably the best scenery you can ask for. I'll be at the other side of the Park, Sag and Kaw Kaw Kawnipi |

06/03/2014 01:49PM My group and I may see you in the parking lot. We're going in on the same day! I hope its a big enough place for the both of us. |

06/03/2014 12:41PM Gary & Pete, Wishing both you guys a great trip. I won't get there until Aug 1. Leave a few for me. There aren't many left! :) Old Hoosier |

06/03/2014 11:58AM Sounds good, Goose. Have a great trip! |

06/03/2014 10:47AM Jackfish, Look for a dark gray Ford F150 with IL 381SG ("Sportsman Group" with geese on plate). If I remember, I'll try to have my BWCA decal displayed. Great trip to you! --Goose |

06/03/2014 10:43AM Goose, we'll be entering after you (June 14) and departing before you (June 19). I'll look for a suspicious looking vehicle in the Beaverhouse parking lot. :) As for advice, remember to pack lots of dehydrated meals. You already know how fished out the place is. |
| OldGreyGoose |
06/03/2014 10:29AM Put the finishing touches on my meals -- adding dehydrated veggies, hamburger, shrimp(!), to their individual packages and securing them in the "vault." My 2 packs are 99% packed -- Guide Pack weighing in at under 30# and the GG pack is a few pounds over that -- pretty light, but haven't finalized my fishing tackle yet. =) Got a call from the park the other day (lovely lilting lady Canadian voice) telling me that Beaverhouse rangers are no longer selling fishing licenses. (I got mine online last week, and will get my permit through Canoe Canada, but it was good to get a personal call.) This last week will probably drag by, but hopefully my house and yard chores will keep me busy until I leave town, probably next Monday, the 9th. Hope to see a few of you in the Beaverhouse-Quetico-Jean-Burntside (and back) area, June 11 - 22. I may take the long way home, traveling around Lake Superior through Canada to the UP then back down to Illinois, so if you have any "must see" spots on that route, let me know! --Goose |
