Great trip report, loved the pics. We are heading to Seagull next week and I can barely contain my excitement. Maybe you could give me a little info? Where did you access the lake? I'd like to use the lot off of the Trails End loop but not sure if its plowed. Blankenberg would add a couple miles as we are planning on heading to about the same area you were. Were there any areas with thin ice you encountered? How about ice thickness?


Thanks again for the report and glad you are planning another winter trip.

Trip report is up and sermon illustrations for next week are ready and waiting after this really cool, but challenging trip.

quote pastorjsackett: "It's coming, Mocha. Thanks for sending some encouragement. I had to get home, get settled and ready for Sunday worship. I'll do a trip report today.



What an amazing, difficult experience. I sure learned a lot!"



I'll venture a guess that you brought too much stuff? :-)
pastorjsackett 02/12/2017 10:25AM
Yep!

It's coming, Mocha. Thanks for sending some encouragement. I had to get home, get settled and ready for Sunday worship. I'll do a trip report today.

Have a great time on your first winter trip!!
Pinetree 02/06/2017 09:32PM
Have fun and you will. People who really only canoe in the summer and never been up north in the winter are missing something.

T minus 36 hours to departure! Entering on Seagull at the end of the Gunflint with my daughter and he co-worker, Bill. Can't wait!

Hannah works at Wilderness Canoe Base, a camp affiliated with Lake Wapo Lutheran Bible Camp in Wisconsin. We'll be leaving from there but I'm in the hands of the guide as far as where to go. We may stay on Seagull or we may take a portage trail off to another lake. If I catch a laker through the ice, you'll hear me whoop all way from there. I'll keep you posted on this thread.

Nice! Where is you destination? We have a tentative trip to Seagull planned for March. Looking forward to a lake report.
pastorjsackett 01/28/2017 08:04AM
I've been wanting to do this for years. My daughter is working some winter hours up on the Gunflint and there is a guy at her camp who has all the gear so I am driving up in a couple weeks and the three of us are heading out of Seagull.

I am pumped!
