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.

I really look forward to your return and your many stories.

And what a glorious sunset you had there.

I pulled the map up again, tracing your route, oh yeah it was a long road trip for you. Rest well tonight Sage, and look forward to your many stories.

You got to see a moose in Northern Wisconsin?!?!?!? UNFAIR! *pouting*

OK, my jealous self is now going to tell you welcome home, your photo is gorgeous as always, and we can't wait to hear all about the rest of the trip!

(And now I'm gonna go sulk a little more.)

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.

Awesome sunset. Six people in an overstuffed van, seven walleye, and one moose. Sounds like a great trip.
