Name: Tom & Wes, Brent & Belle, Eric & Sophie
Hometown: Twin Cities, MN
Arrival Date: Monday, 18 Jul 22
Departure Date: Sunday, 24 Jul 22
Coming From/Via: Grand Portage/Voyageur II

Itinerary: Paddling the inland water route from McCargoe to Chippewa.

Notes/Other: Brent and have paddled this before, maybe 8 or 10 years ago. Decided it was time to return, and with some offspring in tow. This will be my son's (Wes - 13) third trip to the island but his first paddle adventure. Eric is a friend of Brent's who heard of our trip and it's been on his bucket list, so we added him and his daughter to max out our crew. Looking forward to introducing a few others to the island, getting in a little fishing, and generally enjoying the relaxing on the Isle.
As a bonus/'father's day gift' my son recently demonstrated he's grown large enough to portage an aluminum canoe, so I'm all set! :lol:

The itinerary is still up in the air based on water conditions at WC, but so far I don't see anything other than Richie having a bloom. LC and WC will be first time visits for Ben and me.
