Any update on having pay pal set up?

Thanks Jim, gonna have to give that a try.

Welcome, glad to see another Minnesotan! Got 14" of snow one year over MEA on Isabella lake, almost didn't get out because they don't plow those roads.

Thanks for sharing Jim. Lakes are busier this fall than ever, wonder if it will change next year, assuming the pandemic panic is over.

Great report, looks like you had good time. Thanks for sharing.

I really like the North maps, worked great as a shade "collar" on a couple of the really sunny days.

The innie tarp was mainly to protect the floor from my pups paws. I didn't see any ticks on our trip, one of the other guys found 2.

The BWCA opened last Monday and I took two newbies in for a 5 night trip on Wednesday. We entered at #41 - Brule lake. Neither newbie had ever paddled a canoe much and had never done a portage. We hit the water around noon after a six hour drive avoiding staying anywhere overnight on the way...

If those seats are original it's probably a Mansfield, they used cane. Ribs and outer gunnels were most likely mahogany.

The Loon is a Navarro canoe. Navarro's were a family split from Merrimack and they were on the west coast for a long time but are now made in Rockford, Illinois.
