Back to more than real life.

I went to the BWCA for 8 days ...it was Rough. Pictures show the good times but we had Wind, Waves and rain.
The May fly hatch ruined our fishing , we caught 5 northern all snakes.

My Daughter and her Husband brought mt 7 year old Grandson , he was a Great joy, and trooper!!!.

I brought mt 67 year old Uncle, he and I were beat to a pulp afterwards. But had fun.

We got home Thursday evening. But my Wife and I had to watch Grandkids for 4 days after that. I Got a Sore throat and at 3am Monday started throwing up. My Wife took me in to Dr.s office at 4pm because I couldn't quit. I was happy to get there and get some Zophran and Torodol for my headache. I hot home at 9pm and slept half way.

It was a Hard 2 weeks.

Sounds like tough conditions but the time spent with family is rewarding. Hope you are on the mend too.

Beautiful country.

Nice to spend time in the bush.
Looks like you had a nice trip with your loved ones.

Yes it is ! I just wished my Wife would go with..but portages are not her thing.

Nice Moccasin Lady slipper flowers.

Great pictures and beautiful scenery up there. How were the black flies? They were nasty when I was up there years ago.

Thanks for sharing brother

Sounds like you did it exactly right. I've been three time and have been beat up each time, but we tend to to large loops (75-80 miles). Seems like when we're about halfway in the portages got to all heck, and its gets to be quite a slog. Nonetheless, I love it and its always memorable.

My Daughter does BWCA like boot camp

It is a shame the fishing stunk. I wonder why. Did you fish much?

MJM, I'm 98% sure it was the May fly hatch the first day we were there.

We fished quite a bit.

Lets hope it is not a Giardia infection....report back in two weeks.

I will.
It's all Sinus related, sore throat led to swallowing phlegm and nausea then dehydration and headache from not being able to drink Coffee that next day.

I got zophran for nausea and fluids, Torodol for headache didn't touch it.

2 days later I'm doing much better, still seems like a bad head cold.

anti-coffee headache are a real head spinner


Giardia has a 2 week cycle in its growth and eruption from the gut tissues

Hmm

hope you did not drop your phone with that reply
in the big white phone depository

amazing place.

Ive had the sinus issues and resulting gut issues. No fun at all!

How many miles did you paddle?
