first ferry get off?

Post by JerryB »

Does anyone know if the Grand Portage ferry’s first run went off? I leave on it on Friday. I know in the past that i’ve has delayed the first ferry. I doubt that is the case this year, but looking for confirmation.

Didn't notice Voyageur II go by Mott, but no reason to think they didn't run. Staff at dinner tonight mentioned they saw their first visitors of the year on the trail this afternoon. It's been beautiful warm and sunny the past week. Only the tiniest bits of snow hidden deep in the shade remain.
