Woohoo! So yeah, I'm at the Hampton Inn in Duluth now. Right at the tip of lake superior. Its pretty cool-theres like a big bridge, and all kindsa huge ships go into the port like all the time. But I still have a buncha boundary waters left to write about. Here we go.

So on...thursday, me and dad canoed around long island lake a little bit, tried to catch some fish, stuff like that. we didn't catch a single fish the whole...damn...time. it was horrible. newa, after we gave up on that, we went down the Long Island river. actually, we stopped at this huge rock/cliff kinda thing, and I climbed up it. Me at the topDad at the bottom

So yeah, after that, we went down the Long Island River, then a 28 rod portage to Gordon Lake, then a 13 rodder to Cherokee Lake. At the end of that portage, we saw a bunch (9) of little kids from "a boys camp in northern wisconsin." there were some huge waves on that like, which was called cherokee lake. we went over a little bit to a bay where we tried to fish a little bit. Of course, we didn't catch anything. again.

The waves were pretty bad on the way back too, but they were kinda going toward our portage, so we just kind of road them in. The waves don't look especially huge, but they sure moved the canoe a lot. As you can see, there were whitecaps. Good times, though. Good times.
On the way back, we got really close to a couple of loons. At some point, after vacation is over, I'm gonna do a post with all the animals and stuff we saw. For now, you just gotta see this one. We got like 5 feet away from the loon.Yep. Pretty sweet. I'll put up a more detailed pictures of the loon sometime. So yeah, we had dinner (I had hawaiian chicken, pretty good) and went to bed, after hangin up the food. Good times. More tomorrow.
