Thanks Isaac, a good read! 2021's starts in August, should be warmer, although busier.

Isaac! Awesome report! Loved the humor and the pics, great to see. It looks like Son of War passed the test and can officially be declared a Canoeman, and the youngest ever to complete the challenge. Way to go! I stayed at the Height Of Land campsite the night after you did, loved the sunrise the next morning as well. Congrats and I want to thank Missy again for the great pics she took of me finishing the trip. Those are the only still images I have from the trip. It was great running into you guys!

Outstanding trip for father and son. When I met you on the Grand Portage your faces had the look of a great trip. Your stories back at the lodge were fun to hear. Congrats.

Thanks for the trip report. Enjoyed chatting with your son. I also believed those weather reports and froze as a result.

The question of the day is Freedom or Socialism?? MagicPaddler
