Still hanging out but not posting much lately. Coaching 4th and 6th grade basketball teams doesn't give me much time to sit down and relax. Plans for 2017 include a solo, daddy/daughter trip (younger 9yo's turn this year) week long cabin stay up the Gunflint trail w/ the family, and of course Moose Madness weekend in Grand Marais in Oct. Moose Madness weekend is my daughters' favorite family tradition.

Here for another year... this photo in our "canoe" with the 135hp "paddle" in the back. :)

Still kicking; although not quite as high as I used to be able kick.
Turned 74 on the 26th of December.
Looking forward to putting in more seat time in canoes, and on my motorcycles in the coming year.
Best wishes for a Happy New Year to all BWCA paddlers.
Me giving directions to "my better half" & most favorite paddling companion in photo.

Linden is still here.
I'll be paddling and riding Moose in AK again. I go back there mid March. Not sure if I will retire after this year or hang around up here for couple more.
Pic was fighting a fire in a Wilderness area, we couldn't use ATV's so I commandeered this Moose.

Still lurking but not as often as I'd like. 2016 was a busy year full of fun, unexpected adventures and some not-so-fun family stuff as well. Moved my mom, in the throes of Alzheimer's, in to a memory care facility and we continue to try to pick up the pieces of her life. Just finished nursing hubby back from his second knee replacement (not so fun at first but the long term benefits are going to be great!)
In between we camped in our new teardrop trailer, I managed two BW trips and we had an unexpected but very fun trip to the Netherlands and Ireland. First time outside of the US or Canada for both me and hubby. It was grand.
We spent New Year's weekend at a cabin at the end of the Gunflint Trail. I spent the whole drive home late yesterday plotting to return this winter and hoping that the soft water season will bring us at least a couple of short trips in to canoe country. Vacation time is scarce this year after the big unplanned trip this fall.
This is from a trip to Lake Polly last summer. I'm in the bow and my dear friend Luft is in the stern.

This site is a big source of entertainment/enjoyment for me so I dread the "slow" season from October to January. Glad it's now officially planning season so I am looking forward to more activity.
Hoped for three trips in 2016, got one. Hope the cards fall differently in 2017 and I get at least 2. Still kicking that whole "solo" idea around. Sometimes it is the only way you can go, we shall see. Group solos sound interesting.
Though I don't know many of you personally I have an interest in your thoughts and your experiences and feel like I know some of you. That's pretty cool.
Good luck on whatever pursuits you follow in 2017, hope the BWCA fever doesn't get left behind.

WOW, what lake is this? Two trips again this year thank goodness - EP16 in July, haven't decided yet for September but probably Kawishiwi area. Happy new year to all."
Let us see how long (not) it takes for members to see where this is. Popular ?-- no-- but many have done the route reading this post.

Ripple and partner are well- new job, move to the city,- kept us out of the BWCA last year. WILL BE THERE this year!"
Glad to hear things are well... I've been wondering how the two of you are. Great picture! Hope the new life adventures continue to go well and that a return to canoe country happens for you this year.

This year we are planning to fly to Duluth and rent a car to go on up to Quetico. We have driven up from South Georgia almost every year since 1978. The drive is finally getting too hard. Since we are flying we probably will just go to our camp that is in Canada near the French Lake entrance. Can make day trips from there. Will not have our camping gear so will not make interior trips to Quetico. Will still make canoe trips into Quetico in years that children or grandchildren come to visit. We ae friends with both outfitters that are located near French Lake so we will use one of them to outfit those future trips. I hope that they don't wait too long to come back North.

UP Boy is still alive and kicking. Celebrating 1 year of retirement and loving every day.
Took 3 trips last year and already have 2 planned for this year and maybe more. Highlight last year was taking my oldest grandson (3 years old) on a Boundary Waters canoe trip. Going again this spring and looking forward to it.

Thinking of you Terry. I had pizza at Angelo's the other night."
Heheheh, LOVE Angelo's in Wausau, but miss the old Rib Mountain store. I usually go up or come back via Wausau and Hwy 51 to see my old adopted home town and go by Angelo's. Ahhhh, miss Wausau, even this time of the year!
