Ok....great report! Only I wish I could remember what SC said that was so funny. ;-)

Edited to add: next time, if we have our house by then, y'all are welcome to bunk with us!

Very cool and fun report. Wish I could have made the wing nut.

Another good name for the report would have been, "Squirrels gone Wild!" Great read!, looks like it was alot of 'phun!'

Joy is a great teacher, but so is dispair. Wonder is a great teacher, but so is confusion. Hope is a great teacher, but so is disillusionment. And life is a great teacher, but so is death. To deny yourself any of those in any aspect is not experiencing life totally.

Hahahaha.......very nice!
A couple of things to note:
1) Have you got the cramps out of your faces after smiling and laughing for 48 straight hours?
2) How come in the picture with the "copia-cop", Trix is the only one that doesn't look worried....like the whole process is "old-hat"????
3)Will Old Scout need therapy or just new pants?
4)How much was bail?
5)Your trio appears to be the funnest bunch of wicked, vile paddlers I've seen.
6)I believe the "leave no trace" policy was totally obliterated on this trip!!!!!

"What could happen?"

BWAHAHAHA!!!!!!

I have to admit, reading this makes me wish I lived back in MN again so that I could have tripped with them. ;-) Meeting up at 'Copia with a cranky toddler just wasn't quite the same. Though the Wing Nut rocked!

Really enjoyed your report. Briefly met you's when you were having a snack at the Cache Lake diner.
Looks like a great time was had by all..

Never lost. All portages and roads go somewhere or they would not be there.

Nice job. There is evidence of that a$$ grab on SunCatcher's camera, I couldn't pass up that photo-op.

One editorial correction: I was still around when Trix's nice showed up.

That was a blast, well worth the travel time. :)

Yes Tim, you were still there till the end so I will credit you that one.

Franz: Chicks just know how to have that kind of fun & get away with it!

Nola: You will just have to make a road trip back up here sometime & we can do it all over again. (So, do you think after reading this report with pictures, that your husband would really want us to stay at your house????) And, if you really don't remember what suncatcher said to you to make you snort your beer up your nose, e-mail me & I will tell you! It was a classic line!

Looked like the girls had fun on the way there, while there, and on the way home. Hard to go back to reality after such a fun weekend it appears? I would have liked to seen the faces of all the folks around you as you climbed into kayaks, tents, canoes, etc and got photo opportunities. It was nice to meet you all and read about your trip. I just wish my Nebraska hat wasn't discombobulated (he,he) it just didn't look right after that. Thanks for sharing, and PS I know what I said that made the beer come out the nose and I do have one real funny pic that I wont share with anyone (maybe)

Yeah, he's pretty easy going. Really. ;-)

Also he grew up with three older sisters (the four kids were born in a span of 5 years, so very close in age) so he's used to this type of craziness.

Sorry about the hat. Had to do it per Winemakers request to get rid of it. You didn't seem to mind what it looked like that night, or was it you didn't care, until the next morning that is. I'd be glad to send you a MN hat to replace it.

Lynn, that would be awesome if it works out. That is this coming weekend, right? I can talk to the other two & see what they have lined up this weekend as well. The more the merrier! When & where were you thinking? You can e-mail me directly if you want.

Had a great time Saturday night (during Mpls show)!

My face hurt the next day from so much laughing & smiling.

Brits was a grand place for all of us to meet. John & Tim enjoyed being the only 2 guys with a group of 7 women.

Do you have any of the pictures?
