Trip Introduction:
A solo trip to base camp, explore ‘upper Cirrus’ and fish
that I had wanted to take since the beginning of the summer.
I had also considered taking my family in through this route
in July but opted for Beaverhouse-Cirrus (which was a better
option!). It was a 5 ½ hour trek heading in as I searched
about for portages and fought a bit of wind. Coming out I
fared only a little better taking 5 hours from my campsite
outside of Sue Falls to the take-out at the Lerome Lake
access just off the Trans-Canadian.

Day 1 of 5
Friday, September 13, 2013 Day 1 of 5 Started the day from the Twin Cities. Warm and a bit breezy but a delightful day and easy drive. Had a quick detour over to Ely to pick up a used Thermarest Guidelite series pad from an outfitter. Road work almost completed on 169 which was a blessing and I zipped in and zipped out of town quickly. Finally made it to International Falls by 9PM and stopped at the Voyageur Hotel. A great little place that is run by an older couple like a bed & breakfast. Felt as though I was walking into their living room when I entered the lobby. Good night sleep. Heading north on I35
