1977 Our First Time in Quetico
by Spartan2
Day One:
After several canoe trips, the journey to Ely is beginning to take on a "traditional" feel. We had our lunch at the Ely A&W, and then headed up to Moose Lake Landing. It was rainy. Saw a deer on the way to the landing.
Left Moose Lake Landing at 2:30 PM. Spotted one heron early on our way.
The weather cleared and we camped at Sucker Lake in a birch forest. The temperature was 68 degrees. (This is the first time we had taken a little thermometer.)
We had rain in the night, thunderstorms. THE RAIN FLY KEPT US DRY!! YEA!! [Our first trip with a rain fly.]
