We woke up to a windy day on Disappointment. I decided to take the two Parent lake portages, as I had heard when there is strong wind it would be easier when crossing Snowbank. As we got on Parent, the wind picked up considerably and it was a tough paddle. The waves were a good two feet high. On Snowbank, the waves kept on a coming. It was a really difficult paddle. My wife was getting tired and I was working my butt off trying to keep us straight. There was no need for a workout this morning, I definitely got my fill on Snowbank. We finally reached the car and we were both wiped out. We headed back to outfitters, took the best shower God could ever create and got my ritual Ice Cream and hamburger from the DQ. Nothing better then Ice Cream after being in the woods!!

This was an outstanding trip. It was great to spend quality time with the woman I have been married to for 9 memorable years. So often we get so busy with work, kids, and other responsibilities that we forget were it all started. It was great to reconnect with her in the BWCA. She really enjoyed her trip and wants to take a trip with our kids up here next year. I think she's hooked!!! Also, Jordan's Canoe Outfitters was great and I highly recommend them.
