In 2019 I sold it to a guy who lives in Janesville Wi. That’s where the Black Hawk canoes were manufactured. He has a nice stable of boats and paddles the local rivers.


It was a fantastic design but at 60lbs it was time for me to go ultralight. Thanks for asking.

I love this month’s category! The photos taken at entry points are often taken after months of planning and everything coming together on the morning of the trip.
My granddaughter Astrid took her first trip last August, and she can’t wait to get back! She’s pictured here with her dad Nick at EP38–Sawbill on 8/12/24.

This "entry point" to the bwca is on a portage between East Bearskin Lake and Flour Lake that doubles as a beautiful wintertime xc ski trail.

I'm taking some liberty with the word "Theme" in the Entry Point Themed Photo's.


The Crew headed up the Gunflint Sept. 2024. 26th year of tripping together. We were headed to East Bearskin. Made a stop at Voyageur Brewing and snapped a pic by the sign.
