Was very glad to meet you as you were finishing the final chapter in your journey. What you accomplished is what I want to do when I finally get to retire. WELL DONE!!!!! Glad everything worked out after the rough start. Take care and hope we cross paths again soon. FISHONFISHOFF. P.S. Stay tuned for our trip report as soon as my "honeydew list" gets a little smaller. |

Congrats on your first solo & kudos for continuing on after the sprained ankle. IMHO Brant lake is one of the tougher entries into the BWCA. So you really earned your stripes. If possible? Would be nice to see some photos from West Fern, Powell, Virgin area to see how that area is coming back. Was through there some years ago myself. The campsite on Virgin qualifies as the worst I've ever run across. Anyways, great job on your first trip report. Thanks for taking the time to share your story. |

I haven't been through any of that area, so I wish there were pictures, but I'll get there some day soon. |

(Yes, I have LOTS of "favorite places in the world". I am just that way. There are so many wonderful places, aren't there?) It was nice to meet you, however briefly. Thanks for writing a report on your good solo adventure. |

Now, why don't you like bringing a camera again? I did one trip in the late 80's without a camera and I really regret that. Time does fade your memories and it's so nice to have pics that tell your story. I put my trips on dvd and hopefully inspire my grandkids someday. |

In the end, I believe it is definitely an individual decision. I don't feel that it's an all right/all wrong thing, but it simply depends on where a person is at in their life, and what's important to them. |

Congratulations. and great reeport. I am glad your ankle got a little better. I can realate to the shower, I took one on my second solo and it is a nice addition at times to have that. I had a pesky beaver like that one time...ALL darn Night!!! slap, slap slap. And Otter's are fun to watch, but I noticed they are MEAN to one another and can be noisy. The critter coming out of the water and up to the tent would have bothered me a LOT. Enjoyed the report very much. Maybe the Austrailan Shepard should make the trip? I also understand the music in your head thing, it happens to me also. Keep up the soloing SunCatcher |

I've been into photography since I was 12 years old. It's just in my blood but maybe one day in the future I will trip like the voyageurs did just to experience it. |

I would have taken pictures on this last solo trip, however as the story goes, I mistakenly left the camera at home and didn't have access to purchase a replacement. MOSTLY, however, I prefer to go deeply into experiencing and feeling things as they happen in the present moment. Fiddling around and worrying about taking a picture distracts me from being able to do this. Make any sense?? |
