Trip Introduction:
I live about six miles from the Lake of Galilee in Israel.
I joined up for a Quetico trip with Ron through the BWCA.com
site. It was a big decision to make the long journey, as my
wife, who is my paddling partner for 43 years, encouraged me
that it was time to go with some other men. So I bought the
ticket in May for our July trip, a flight from Tel Aviv via
Warsaw to Chicago, where Ron and others would meet me for
the two day drive to our Beaverhouse entry. We are a group
of five men, all in our 60's, only two knew each other
previously, but we all have this common love for the
Northwoods wilderness. What some people won't do to paddle
in the Quetico, 6500 miles in each direction!

Here is a photo of the Lake of Galilee. As you can see, very different from Quetico Lake! 
The twenty four hour, eight time zone, trip goes smoothly, and I get a good nights sleep at a Chicago, O'hare airport motel. I am ready for my pick up on Thursday by Ron our group leader.
We spend the day driving across beautiful, green, Wisconsin. As we approach Superior the weather deteriorates to thunderstorms, and past Duluth we see hail along the road side like it was snow plowed! What are we heading into?
