Beautiful photos! Dang! The glowing campfire is extraordinary.

I really enjoyed your report. Loved that last loon photo. You had some trials and tribulations, but the silver lining is that you learned a lot quickly and made changes before the end of the trip. I'm sure you made a bunch before the next trip; I'll look for that next report.

Thanks for sharing! Your pictures were awesome. I really liked the narrows shots between Thomas and Frazier. I’ve never been there, but plan to this summer during a solo trip. I’m going to look into that Y camp you mentioned for my kids and I plan on stealing your English muffin “bun” idea. Brilliant!

Thanks,

Tony

Great report of a nice trip; fantastic photos! Enjoyed reading all the detail, and recall making similar mistakes in early trips to Canoe Country. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I gleaned a great deal of information and admire your ability to admit mistakes. That's the sign of a truly confident person.

Great report. Just think of what you could have gained if your parents had educated you in the way of the wilderness when you were a kid.

Oh, wait ... ;-)

(I had a similar upbringing.)

Excellent! A fun read and great photos, too. My wife and I went through some of that area a few years ago and really enjoyed it.

Still a very inspirational story. I would like to say that all those little mistakes you wrote about are wisdom for your next trip. Mastering the craft of wilderness tripping is one learned from experience.
