It would be nice to have a magical food that was light weight, super nutritious, kept well for months and was offensive to evil creatures."-- Hudson Bay Bread. Great trail food. Nice report. |

07/03/2014 10:21PM Really enjoyed that report. Very Nice indeed. We have been to most of your route and stopped at several of the same campsites. Bummer on the weather. I warned ya' about the white knucklers on Quetico Lake eh? Have a great fall trip! Your due now. |

07/03/2014 10:12AM OGG, We were hoping to cross paths with you but it looks like we missed you with your trip scaled down a bit. |

07/02/2014 11:12PM I was just on a similar trip and it seems like we took some of the same pictures... that's funny. Glad to see you had a good trip. |

06/28/2014 01:56PM Sounds like you help up better than most would under those conditions. (especially on a solo). Appreciated the 'piss off the bugs fire' comment. Thanks for taking the time to share a well written @ entertaining account of your adventure. |

06/28/2014 08:10AM Carmike, How far up in there did you get to? Up in there to the left (northwest) there's a "narrows" that's walleye-friendly, and up the right side there's supposed to be a 4-star camp with a sand beach. (Of course high water had some beaches submerged.) I hope to get up in there some day with my son-in-law. --Goose |

06/27/2014 10:02PM Thanks for the report and pictures, OGG. I think we've all had those trips where "things just don't go the way they're supposed to". |

06/27/2014 09:18PM Yep, that was definitely us. One Penobscot 16 and one Minnesota II. Man, that wind funnels down those long east-west lakes. We had planned to do some more adventurous daytrips, but that northern bay was about the only place we could get to without lots and lots of paddling into a strong headwind. There is some good fishing up there, so all was not lost. :) |

06/27/2014 08:46AM Carmike, if I remember correctly one canoe was red, the other the natural skin color. --Goose |

06/27/2014 12:34AM Awesome report. I think I *might* have been in one of the canoes coming out of the big north bay on Quetico headed towards your old camp. :) |

06/26/2014 12:49PM OldGreyGoose: Nice trip report. Too bad about all of the rain and wind you encountered - guess that's part of the experience. Really enjoyed your pictures as well. Thanks for posting. |
