Fantastic trip report. So encouraging to see the younger generation get into canoe camping and fishing. I am ashamed to say Noah and Brody caught more fish on this trip than I have on 15 BWCA trips!

Fun trip report to read. Looks like we're neighbors as I'm from north of your border in Jackson County MN. We're planning a trip to Knife Lake this June.

Great pictures, great report. Tiring for you now, but in 6-7 years they will be hauling everything for you with ease. Love traveling with my teenager now, especially when the portages get really tough. Great that you have such enthusiastic travel partners!
