I've done the start of your trip up until Gun. Fourtown was busy, Boot and Fairy seemed nice and we stayed on Gun on 2 different trips. Nice area. The water on Gun is very different from its neighbors. |

I thought I had a hard first trip. If I was standing in your living room I'd give you both a handshake. You've been initiated, you overcame the adversity, and most importantly you have been bit by the wilderness bug. All of the physical challenges you endured combined with your friend's cancer diagnosis made an already difficult experience all that more difficult. But you know as well as I do that our God is one that loves to gives us strength in our weakness and indeed has promised that. "As I turned to mentally capture my last view of canoe country, I captured more than a memory. I knew I had recaptured a part of who I am and my final prayer that day was to carry over the lessons learned into "real life." Not necessarily the need for maps, compasses, and good clean water, but the knowledge that through the strength I receive from God, I can persevere through any adversity." +100K. I can relate. My last look into canoe country had the exact same effect on me. You'll be back. |

My buddy and I both have kidney stone problems and I have had two back surgeries. Your experiences are never far from our minds. Love the way God strengthened you for the trip out. As an aside, we found the water on Gull to be full of particles and have vowed not to filter water from it again as it also clogged our water filter. One last request: could you talk my wife into going once! Would love to experience it with her. Close as I can get her is the Holiday Inn in Duluth. LOL! Thanks again for sharing David |
