Long ago, I had my phone listed with my full first name... Beth. I would occasionally get calls that were, hmm, not just trying to sell me something, but "provocative." I'd just hang up. Once, I recognized the voice. He'd called before, at least a few times. It was during the day and I...

I was headed northwest, toward that little gap in the trees, off in the distance. That's where the first portage was. I felt the warmth of the wood of the paddle, and the gentle but strong flex during each stroke. The pine smell was wonderful, and the sun gently warmed my shoulder and back as...

Thank you. I am planning on going over the lake to get to Sault Sainte Marie, and this time I will go INTO Pukaskwa, thanks to you. :-) Pringles

Oh. Those pictures. Wow. I love the ones that show the clarity of the water, with the canoe looking like it's self-levitating. I live in a stunning and incredible place, and now I want to go there. That must have been a wonderful trip. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful.

Thank you Dave08. When I changed jobs, the new job doesn't "give" us space. I keep waiting for the old job to overwrite things, but, well, that hasn't happened yet. Chip, I read your trip report, then I went back and read your car trip report. I think that when it comes to car travel, we are...

Oooo. Pretty. But then everything's pretty. Too many choices. Thanks again for all the info!

Thank you for all the great information Dogbrain! I may make this a day trip, just getting to Shoshone Lake, before trying to do an overnight. I did an overnight hiking trip last summer and am familiar with the rules. I also had my boat inspected and bought my sticker for last year, but only...

Your pictures made me homesick for the UP. Thank you for sharing them.

I enjoyed the article. I guess I just have to go do it. As to crowds, people here complain about how crowded it is in the summer. But I spent two years near Great Smoky Mountains National Park. That has twice the visitors, and one quarter the space. The traffic jams are annoying, but...

Hi, I've moved. I used to live in Michigan's Upper Penninsula, and now I live in Wyoming, near Yellowstone National Park. :-) Now I have a whole new set of places to play. I paddled once on Lewis Lake last summer, and thought it was beautiful, and now I want to go back. Has anyone here...

I did that trip a number of years ago. I remember it fondly. I had a great aunt who homesteaded out there in about 1910. She was unmarried. The "boys" ussed to come a courting, and help her put up fence posts. When WWI broke out, most of the men headed back to their home states to join up...

Great stories. Seeker, do you offer remodeling lessons? :-)

Yup, that's the place. So you live in ME, but you've been to Wawa a couple of times? I work with people who have lived in Sault Ste. Marie all their lives and haven't been to Wawa even once. I can't imagine living that close to Old Woman Bay and not going at least every few years, just to...

It's such a beautiful place. I took a kayak rolling lesson I the little bay by the boathouse earlier this summer, and the waves coming in off the lake were a frothy mess.

Welcome Drift Wood! Thank you for your service Robin. Pringles

I live near Pictured Rocks, so if I'm going out for a weekend, that's where I go. My mother always used to say, "I hope you have nice weather." But I grew to realize that it was pretty cool to *not* have nice weather, at least if you were backpacking. The lake is very in impressive when she...

Ok. Thanks again for the links. I checked, and I'm at Fish Creek Pond. It sounds like its big, but I'll be on the water.

Thank you again, Yellow Canoe. I should clarify, I'm visiting the NE for about 3 weeks, but I'll be car camping, not backcountry camping. I will get an opportunity to visit NY city (on a day tour), and Boston (on a day tour), and a bunch of national historic sites and I'm scheduled to go whale...
