Great trip report Tree! I especially liked your techniques for redirecting your daughter with a rabbit --changes in attitude works wonders-- I've had to use this technique myself...on teenagers. No mention of the playful fox at Daisy Farm? I had a dawn time encouter with that playful critter last year... not that I exactly encouraged it.

Rafiki, I like your backpacking philosphy about striking a balance between weight and comfort. I like to be as light as possible, but I won't go without enough food to fuel my body with. Last year, I had my food weight dialed in perfectly...I only had extra because of a fish boil offerred up by friendly MN fishermen at Moskey :-) And I never went hungry. Fuel on the other hand was overkill...won't make that mistake this year as I have to purchase my cannister on the Isle.
