Re: VII to delay start of season
If it leaves Grand Portage, I'm on that first boat. Watching closely.

Re: First Crew to head to IR Monday
jerry, it's such a lovely spot. I threw up around that area last year running the Superior footrace. Sounds like there's still plenty of snow there too.

Re: First Crew to head to IR Monday
I have a May 14 trip on the Voyageur scheduled so I'm watching these conditions closely. Mike, I thought the snow cover on the island was a bit less than last year, or am I wrong? Maybe I don't put the snowshoes away just yet. If I get to the island I'm happy. If I don't get to the island, I'm happy...

The photographer from the NG article was also a major character in Joe Kane's great book Running the Amazon. That book is quite a paddling adventure too, and a wonderful read.

Re: VII to delay start of season
I was hoping to do the first boat this year, but had to schedule it for the 14th to fit my buddy's schedule. Now I'm on the first boat! Yay! There's just something special about that first trip across.
Thanks for sharing John.

Found a Mountain Hardwear SuperMega UL1 tent in the scratch and dent and used the dividend for it.

Re: What are you spending your REI dividend on? 2014 edition
Mine came yesterday. I'm shocked how much I spent there in a year, especially considering the closest store is 90 minutes away (thank you interwebs!). I guess I've bought so much I don't feel like I need anything. But you guys have me thinking. Hmmm. I've got a Hubba Hubba and love it, but consideri...

Re: Rain Gear Question
I'm pretty weight conscious, but I've never made a list. I usually just head out to the garage and grab what I think I need. Inside, I'll winnow stuff out quickly. Then, when I get to the hotel at Grand Portage, I throw everything on the bed and toss aside what I don't think I'll need until I feel I...

Re: 2013 Trip Log - Add your planned itinerary here!
Sgatz it's such a wonderful route you've planned. I've done that twice, once solo and once with my father, who was close to 70 at the time. Reading this makes me want to do it again soon. Mike's recommendations are spot on, of course. Your portages for July 24 always feel long for me (and that's jus...
