Check out the slide show on the left hand side of this page. It will show you what a good time we had. The portages were interesting. One was 210 rods. That reminded us that were aren't spring chickens anymore.
There was a lot of wind and a lot of rain during our stay. We actually came out a couple days early because we were getting tired of sitting under the tarp.
Fishing wasn't very good. We did manage to round up enough walleyes for a meal on Sunday. Monday we portaged and paddle to a different lake, where we had heard the walleyes where bigger. We never caught a one.
We still had a good time being outdoors and being with our friends Dave and Ellie. However, Ellie did say that she was just being polite when after several days of being camp bound, I started to repeat my stories and she pretended she had not already heard them.
We also had some fantastic meals. We made lazagna on the fire for the first time and Ellie made burritos one night. She had even carried in some fresh veggies to put on them. And rehydrated refied beans are amazing. Throw in some jalapeno Valveeta cheese and you have yourself a super good dip for Makita's homemade tortilla chips. And Ellie's pizza was killer! It must have been the biggest pizza ever made over a fire.

La la la la la zagna....
