and were you driving north on WI Hwy 53 last Saturday, the 5th? If so, I'm the grinning idiot who passed you between Sarona and Spooner. Nice canoe, and nice BWCA.com decal. ;-) I assume you were headed up for a trip...how did it go? (I was taking the kids up to our cabin.)

I hate this thread because it reminds me of my Autumn Mist. I traded in my grumman for a brand new solo and took it on its maiden voyage to Quetico only to total it by letting it go over a small drop on a swollen creek.
I didn't have a camera with on that trip and consequently have no pictures of that canoe. It was white with black trim and the lines were beautiful. I was extremely sad for a long time after that and learned a huge lesson about the power of water. Today I never take chances.

That's got to be him! Thanks! Same color canoe...when I saw his self-portrait sitting in camp I became quite certain it was him, but in his truck he was wearing a bandana so I'm not sure about the hair. But I am quite sure that's him...
So Chief Bob....was it you???

Nojobro,
I thought I'd replied last night, but I guess it didn't go through. Yes, I was wearing a red bandana while I drove up, so it must have been me. As far as hair color goes, what little I have is white. Were you the person that gave me a "thumbs up" as you passed?
I'm from the Indianapolis area and drove up to my brother's place in Crystal Lake IL Friday evening. I drove up to Solon Springs WI on Saturday and then hit Duluth's Canal Park Sunday morning. After dropping some cash at the Duluth Pack Store, I motored up to Ely and put in on Monday.

I think there are more sawyer Autumn Mists per capita in Indiana then in any other state. People get excited over them, dave Yost should get someone to build more. I do not think SuperiorCanoes has actually built one, though he says he can.
hummm?
