i'll be off on Sunday for what I hope will be a two week solo.
it will be my 31st year .i plan to go down the LIS and just paddle around LaCroix to save on the need to portage. i'll be posting videos on YouTube at some point.
i'm 70 and needless to say that still being able to do this is a gift.

Hey WCD.

We are interning LIS north on Sunday spending time on Loon then heritage lynx and shell. Perhaps we'll bump into each other.

Have a safe trip.

Congrats! It's my 31st year too! Started my BWCA "career" with a visit to Dorothy Molter the last year she was there. This year looking forward to putting in to Clearwater Lake off of the Gunflint Trail 5 weeks from today!

This year also marked my 31st year of BWCA/Quetico trips. You have over a decade on me and I hope to still be going at your age. Have the best time ever!

I'm always so impressed when I run across "mature" enthusiasts like you. Keeps us youngsters motivated. Paddle on...

Storms were not that bad. Mostly rain and a little lighting and not too much wind like the earlier storms. Good to play it safe though.

In year 31, your record speaks for itself. Good call on pulling the plug; why not? It'll still be there in a month. That's what experience looks like, folks.

Nice you were able to re-plan. Congrats on 31... definitely an inspiration.
