I'm back!

I’m back, so you don’t have call out the Mounties out to look for me. I hope to catch up with all your blogs over the next couple of days. The Canadian canoe trip was great. I saw at least one bald eagle every day but one. I sent to bed at night to the sound loons. I caught enough fish, but could have caught a few more walleye (I got seven, all in one afternoon). I didn’t see any moose (except for one in Northern Wisconsin while driving up there). And the sunrises, sunsets, moonrises and moonsets were incredible. Unfortunately, it rained when we should have been enjoying the Perseid Meteor Showers. We arrived back at Crane Lake, MN yesterday afternoon and, after lots of driving, back in Michigan this afternoon. Over the next several weeks, I’ll write a number of stories and post numerous photos. For now, you’ll get this teaser. It's me watching the sunset across Darky Lake in the Quetico.

  5. It was 700 plus miles--we went down through Chicago which is faster and a bit longer, but not nearly as pretty as the drive across the UP

    Kenju, I have other work to do too, lol

    Kontan & Ed, Thanks.
