Day 1 of 8
Saturday - Drive to Ely & Fortune Bay Golf
Ely is about a 5 hour drive from home in west-central Minnesota. We started early so we could get to Piragis to pick up the canoe and our permit before driving back to Fortune Bay for a late round of golf. I called the course for a tee-time 5 weeks ago and the first time I could get was 3:30. It was the same story at the Legend's courses in Biwabik so I learned my lesson: Make your tee-time in May. The Wilderness at Fortune Bay was ranked 2nd in the state of Public Courses by Golf Digest this year and it did not disappoint. A quick trip to the Kwazy Wabbit for a pizza and back to the Canoe on Inn for the night.
