It’s cool how you paddled in Voyageurs to meet the miles requirement in lieu of the portage being closed. I did the challenge a few years back and it was an experience I’ll never forget. Getting to that first site on Little Vermillion after a long day of camping was so rewarding. I remember just rolling out of the canoe onto the ground as I was so exhausted. Thanks Tony! We watched YOUR videos leading up to this trip...spent hours on the rowing machine going over your footage. That first campsite sure is terrible, but a welcome site/sight! |

08/01/2022 08:39PM Scott and Grant, Thanks for posting your adventure story. I will be watching the You Tube videos too! 17 paddlers will be doing the Bear Brigade's Annual Fall Kruger-Waddell Challenges this September. Starting on September 3 at Sha Sha Resort and going all the way to Grand Portage. The organized Minnesota Border Route Challenges started in 2015 as a tribute to Verlen Kruger and Clint Waddell who did this route in 1968 in 80 hours and 40 minutes. Our paddlers have 8 days to complete the route and meet in Grand Portage for a celebrations dinner and catch the shuttle back to Ely. This is the 7th organized event. (2021 was a "burn out") And yes, this year the closing of the Gold Portage and the Kettle Falls decontamination stations will certainly add to the "challenge". |

08/01/2022 08:17PM Congratulations! It sounds like it was worth the wait. I wish I would have known your itinerary, I was in Grand Marais on the day you guys finished. I would have made the jaunt up to Grand Portage and joined the welcome party at the finish line. |
