Speckled: "Gronks has the best burgers!"
Good to know... I’ve never eaten there. Still planning to be there, Steve.

Looking forward to it, Ben. Just found out today they opened my EP - #37.


Speckled, are you coming for the best burger?

Thanks to all. It was a good meeting. Nice to meet TB after all these years and visit again with Steve, Ben, and Ginny.

I should have said we’re waiting for 99 on the second picture.

Ten miles for me but I’ve got to watch my grandkids soccer game. It’s the six year old congdon minis vs the nine year old denfeld giants, should be good

Enjoy watching the grandkids, J. I got to see a couple of mine for the first time in 2 years this summer.

Sorry to miss it. Who are the people in the photo (BWCA monikers)?"

In spite of what nctry said and captured in that last photo, I really enjoyed the first 49 of the 179 stories he told. Just kidding. Glad I had a chance see old (or should that be previously-met) bwca friends and meet a new one (Paul).


My hamburger was delicious!

Wow, I would have pulled out the bandana and sharpie and started requesting autographs! Sorry I missed you guys. Have a safe and wonderful time, Steve!

It always amazes me the people we meet throughout our lives. But especially now I think, man... to have been able to paddle with everyone I’ve met! But whether paddling or eating together, indulging in friendships is a very fortunate thing.

It was a surprise to see TB... he took care of our bill, so the rest made sure the staff at Gronk's got rewarded too. I hope Boonie has a great trip... and was it ever nice to see inspector 13.

Ginny... oh man, what a great gal. This lady is a lot like Spartan2 in that she has a lot of class and grace. Portage99, maybe another time. Dman also...

Boonie does this about every year. Steve, have a great trip and we'll see ya next fall!

Have a great trip Boonie. One of these years I’ll be able to meet you. Only one more year of high school soccer left for big duckling then I should have more free time in the fall. At least for a few years until 2 year old Bruin gets us into crazy schedules.

I suppose I should; no excuses right? Sure would be neat to run into someone while up there.

Almost as far as my 1035 miles :) It's my one chance of the year to meet some of these people. Oddly enough, in all my trips I've only run into a couple out in the BW.

Now I don't feel as bad. I'm only 950 miles. Lol. Thanks for invite. Would enjoy the visit and meeting good folks. If any of you are tripping next June I'll be the one wearing my Filson ball cap and a huge smile.


Cheers

gmaps says a mere 1026 miles - just 17 hr and 17 min. Wish I could.

Well you should be there then; we'll expect you promptly at 5:30 :)


Sometimes the timing works out, but most of the time I miss people by a day or two on entry/exit.

Sorry I could not make it the Twin Ports this past weekend. It would have been great to see some of the people who are active on this forum again. Hopefully next year.


Have a great trip Boonie!
