He loved it and did outstanding. He was worn out at much as me each day:) He rode great in the canoe, only got in and out on command, the one time we met people on a portage he sat and stayed on command while I went past him and set the canoe down so he stayed out of their way. Them and a couple of groups on the water commented on how well behaved he was.

I'm going to post a mini report w/pics after getting caught up at work within a couple of days and then hopefully get to a full "Trip Report". I entered at South Kawishiwi River #32 and did the Kawishiwi Triangle.

OK, ducks, here's the mythic version:


Our odyssey, an epic quest to reach the fabled shores of Little Saganaga, began at Kawishiwi Lake on Saturday, September 20th, in the year 2014 A.D. We departed under a dark, angry sky and threatening forecast. We conquered all obstacles thrown in our path by angry gods, nature, and man himself, as well as overcoming our own inherent human weaknesses and personal failings. We reached those fabled shores on the third day of our journey and rested there for a day and night before resuming our travels. We eventually exited at Sawbill Lake on Saturday, September 27th, 2014 A.D. The people there were unaware of our epic journey and there was no fanfare. We experienced many strange and wondrous things on our trip - the ghosts of voyageurs on the portages, strange and fearsome bellowings from the dusky woods, and a magical visit from a wizard disguised as a snowshoe hare.


The rest of the story will follow....
