Thats awesome MP. Nice to see you guys had a great time.


I was really hoping to meet you guys,but got talked out of the brant entry because of gotter lake. All is well though as I know where to find a good net on tusc.


Don't feel bad Mr.b, I once broke a fenwick pole on a sucker.:(

Great report! I can imagine the "loon magic." I really enjoyed reading this, and the pics. Can't wait for my own trip now.

And a big "amen!" to your last sentence.

Yes great report and photos. We have a few years before our groups 25th anniversary I hope we can eat as well as you guys did. Yum.

Nicely written report and excellent photos MP! You guys had some great weather and the fish cooperated. What could be better?

"25 years seems like a long time, but it goes by so quick. Get all the tripping in you can." It certainly does...and I'm trying. Thanks for sharing!

Nicely done MP. Looks like you and Mr B had a great trip. Looking forward to seeing that area myself in a few weeks.

Nice trip report. We celebrated our 25th consecutive year last year. In the first photo with you cooking the fish, what is that in the fire grate that looks like zip lock bags? I don't usually find wood like that. Great photos, loved the report. Hope you two have many more years left.
mooseplums 07/02/2010 06:03PM
it is the bags that our shrimp and scallops were in. We put them there so the sticky juice would get burned off, the bags get washed and reused. Haha looks bad though.
mooseplums 06/09/2010 03:25PM
Added a few additional photos to the report.

Great report! Thanks for sharing.


I did a similar solo loop through that area last year. I also love the Mora - Lil' Sag portage. Very scenic. Like to get back there someday.


Glad to hear you had good fishing. Looks like you ate like Kings? 25 years..........impressive!

Great Report Guys! You Guys eat way too good!! I am so jealous! Awesome Pictures too! Especially love the wildlife pictures.
Bannock 06/09/2010 05:05PM
Nice report. You guys eat great!!!!


The picture of the Voyageur without pants made me laugh! I recognize him from the Voyaguer Motel in Two Harbors, but he's missing his paddle! Also, at first I though maybe he was moved because the background is different, then I noticed the cement pad behind him and realized that the building must have been torn down. What was there, a car lot wasn't it?


Anyway, great report and great pics.
mooseplums 06/09/2010 05:16PM
Bannock, someone drew naughty stuff under the voyaguers shirt... I bet I don't need to say what it is. Vulgar

Anyway, welcome home :)

Makes sense to me. Love the photos.

Great report. 25 years tripping together? Wow.


Also, I never thought about the significance of the name "moose plums" before (I say "moose berries"). Good one!
