With the anticipation of so many people in the outdoor industry and enthusiasts from all over the country, we journeyed in March down to Madison, Wisconsin for Canoecopia, the largest outdoor expo in North America.This is a view of our booth, which publicizes Keweenaw County and those businesses that make their tenuous home in this mostly forgotten peninsula that juts out into Lake Superior.
A tundra scene from our trip up on Hudson Bay. BeginningApril 2 and ending on our return to Minnesota on the 15th, Wintergreen Dogsled Lodge (where I work as a dog team guide) journeyed up to Thompson, Manitoba where we loaded 20 Inuit dogs, 3 freight toboggans, all of our gear, and ourselves onto the Tundra Train for a trip up to Wapusk National Park, where we hopped off the railroad track onto the boreal tundra for a dog team trip through the polar bear denning grounds, camping at eskers and travelling out to the coast of Hudson Bay and then travelling up to Churchill, the end point of our dog taem trip.
This is a scene from the first sea kayak trip of the season, June 2 - 5. I had been back from taking the Wilderness First Responder class in Boulder Junction, Wisconsin (May 16-24) with a week to relax and get my gear together before going over to Munising for this trip. My son Muir and I guided a group of 11 boy scouts and their 2 adult leaders on a paddle and 4 day camp on Grand Island. Here is a few of our hearty voyageurs in Trout Bay.
A common scene on Mackinac Island, where Lynn and I went June 7th through 9th to bicycle, see the sights on this historic place in celebration of our 30th wedding anniversary. Cars are not allowed on the island, but we had a stress-free time of getting around by bicycle and foot, staying at a Bed and Breakfast just out of town.
