I have been trying for 5 days to add a few more photos, but I get a message every time that says the messageboard is undergoing maintenance. I will try again in the future, but wanted to at least get the narrative published.

I can't wait to dig into this tonight after work. I thought there was something different about you after doing the PMA trip in the BW. Now I know you're of that special breed of person who loves adventure! Respect!

"...forged us all into strong, confident women. If we could handle all that, we could handle anything...and we have."

I get that. The big trips I took when I was young gird me still now that I'm old.

Thanks for the read! It was a good un.

Amazing trip. That beginning was a real doozie. I don't know if I would have been able to forge a new trip after that.

Great read. Thanks much for posting it.

Enjoyed the report. A lot more adventure than most people encounter.

That sounds like you got to experience a bit of everything that could go right or wrong. A character builder for sure! Looking forward to more pics, thanks for putting this together.

Awesome trip report--thanks for sharing! Three cheers for adaptability and Camp Menogyn. I was an Hommes camper in 1991 (Albany River). My wife (led Femmes in '97, I think--North Knife River) and I paddled the Attawapiskat for our Honeymoon in the late 90's, so I enjoyed the heck out of this report.
Hope you get a chance to add more pictures.

Cheers,

You started your trip the day I was born :)

Aldy1: "You started your trip the day I was born :)"


Cool coincidence.

Cheers fellow Menogynites. That sounds like a great honeymoon.

I am still hoping to add some pics of the newspaper articles and some sketches from our journal. That is if I can ever load photos to this site again...still not sure the problem.

However, I apparently did not take a camera of my own. I have been thinking of reaching out to the other group members to get some photos, but haven't done that yet.

Enjoyed the report. You had a lot of challenges, especially at the beginning, and still managed to have a great trip. Amazing! Hope you are able to get a few pics up.
