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!

Still vertical.....
while company was arriving out at home I was out operating on a cow for a right sided twisted stomach....may have been a waste of time but have to go through the motions.


Gonna be hard to beat 2016...we got a lot of camping/ paddling in. We got to put our SR canoe in the waters of Lake Louise in Alberta (only green canoe with a whole lot to red rentals), Glacier NP in Waterton, The Current River in Missouri this fall, a week long trio to Polly and Malberg Lakes this summer, grandma/grandpa outing with two granddaughters at Gov Thompson State park here is Wisconsin ( Old Town Otters are great for little kids to get some paddling experience) and several other places that I can't think of right now. My wife figures we slept on the ground almost two months this past year....but we will be both 67 this year and don't feel too guilty about putting on the answering machine and a closed sign on the door.


Was hoping for some chance to get one of the group campsites at Fall Lake CG this summer for several days but it looks just about impossible....


Happy New years to all

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.

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.

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.
