Please disregard the dates on the photos, I haven't figured out how to set the date and time on the new camera yet.

Very nice thank you. If you're going to do a trip on a whim, why not do the drive I say. It beats the pants off of dealing with the cities crowd. I'd be a bit nervous getting up so late. I'm always worried about not finding a campsite and then ... what are we going to do?

Thanks for putting together a trip report - I enjoyed reading it! How lucky for you to have taken a canoe trip so early in the season. I'm waiting until late August for mine!

Great idea - so glad it worked out for you.


Definitely needed to swim up there this Memorial Day - way too hot for May. If you stop at thigh deep, it will cool down your body enough that you don't feel you need the full immersion, but then you don't have that "refreshed" feeling afterwards, lol.

Thanks for posting. Always enjoy reading reports with couples tripping together.. gives me hope my wife will try again.

Without the bad times, the good times wouldn't seem so good.
