Fun and interesting article about a blue canoe written off as stolen reappeared from Lake Superior.

Duluth News Tribune

Any else ever get gear back? I’ve hooked a nice fly rod on the Devils Track- but have never gotten any of my own gear.

I didn’t see a post to the article on the forum anywhere else, but let me know if it is

Really fascinating. Hard to believe that canoe found it's way back to the original owner's shoreline. I hope more of this story comes out. Thanks for posting.

Maybe if I go camp back on Clearwater, that bear will return and give me my barrel back!

I took a youth group to the numbered lakes bake in the '90's. A couple boys were always getting in trouble. One evening some of the kids were helping me cook dinner when we heard their fearless leader ask the boys if "Ben" said it was ok if they could use his boat? They said no, so he made them bring it in. A little while later someone said, Ben your canoe is floating away. Never looking up I whistled for it... And it came back. I never looked up so didn't witness it myself. But it made an impact to where the kids made a song about it that was printed in the church bulletin the next week. Haha.

And the moral of the story is you have been whistling all the time and bringing canoes back to there rightful owners ever since...
