Great stuff Ken. You certainly have a good eye for photos. I am glad you like the new ride. Wenonah makes some fine canoes.

great photos butthead!


we stayed at the same site on Moose last weekend. photogenic island!






We had good luck bobber fishing out from the island. Lots of eater-size walleyes.

Great photos Ken!!! Me and Float Stan were happy to be on our way, but bummed we couldn't join you for cocktails and b.s. Friday night, he actually complained about it for the first couple days of our trip. We are gonna have to get together and paddle sometime this summer.

Great photos. I really like the portage photos...lots of variety between them. Enjoyed seeing ribbon rock as well. Looks like a pretty area. Thanks for sharing.

Yes,and you were the ones with the big smiles. We talked to you for a minute by the rock cliff on Moose north of the twin islands.Nice canoes.

Very likely PINETREE, did the canoes look like this, Blackgold Magic and a skincoat kevlar Advantage?

Butthead,
Very nice photo's you always amaze me with the quality you get.
Love the pictures of the boats together...they look like friends side by side also. haaha.
Read above and sounds like you enjoyed the heck out of the ride and the trip.
Take care and thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the trip report. I also like that portage.
butthead 05/25/2011 02:24PM
Didn't like paddling the Prism, wanted a distance tripper similar to the Magic the Advantage is just what I wanted! Baxter is PJ's companion, mixed breed, and is a very good pooch in the canoe, and out for that matter!


butthead
Ho Ho 05/25/2011 02:14PM
Great pictures. So did you pick the Advantage over, say, the Prism for better speed?


What breed is your dog (Baxter?). He always looks happy and well-behaved in the canoe. Just thinking about a canine outdoors companion . . .


butthead 05/25/2011 01:58PM



About 3 ft long, 2 ft wide, 1 1/2 ft high.

Ahhhhhh.....


heaven.


Question...what size is the ribbon rock? Can you please compare it to something that I might know?
wawasee 05/25/2011 12:24PM
Nice pictures looks like you had good weather.

All of the above! Paddled thru boat wakes on Moose and New
found,and into whitecaps over 20 inches on Birch did 15+ miles to camp 1st day without trouble, only had to adjust ballast to the back to turn down wind (and it took a bit!). Very happy with it as a long distance tripper (load at > 240 lbs. total)! Fished with flygear, no problem but no real hits. Took no water over the sides, and kept up with PJ's Magic handily. I'm very happy with the choice!
Thanks!

COOL slide show!! Love the eagle picture!! We had the same week in the BWCA- such a great window of weather!
Zulu 05/24/2011 03:01PM

WowI Those are incredible photos Butthead. I like the one of your new canoe and the still waters.
How did you like the new canoe for tripping?
The overlook photo must be on the Vera to Ensign portage. Beautiful is right.
The weather must have been great.
Glad you had a wonderful trip.


Float Stanley is at that age were he just wants to hang out where the beer is.
TuscaroraBorealis 05/24/2011 02:56PM
Excellent photos!


The eagles nest was neat & seeing the ribbon rock is always cool beans. Looks like you had an awesome trip? Thanks for sharing.


Sure was nice of float stanley to save you those 2 beers. :) Had to of tasted mighty good?
