100 Days Strong: Day 17, 2nd day of the canoe trip

Day 17, Saturday, June 4th.

We spent the night last night at the Tomahawk Scout Reservation. We woke up this morning at 5:30 am. We had our breakfast at the dining hall. It consisted of Oatmeal, boiled eggs, granola bar, and hot cocoa or coffee.

After loading up all the gear we headed out and hit the road again. Just like yesterday, we drove North stopping every so often for fuel or restroom breaks. We stopped for lunch at Goosebury Falls. While we were there for lunch we all hiked to the falls. It was really beautiful. The boys walked in the stream for a while before we had to get on the road again. I would love to go back to Goosebury Falls again some day when I have more time to explore.

Our lunch today was more Turkey and Roast Beef on slimwich buns with cheddar cheese. Mayo and mustard were available too. We had chips and bottles of water too.

We drove the rest of the afternoon, stopping in Grand Marias, MN to pick up some leaches and other bait so we could go fishing while we were on our canoe trip.

It was around 3:00 or 4:00 pm when we got to the Outfitters. The Outfitter we used for the trip is Gunflint Northwoods Outfitters, located in Gunflint, MN. After we arrived at the Outfitters we unloaded our gear into the cabins and got ready for dinner. Dinner was lasagna, garlic bread, ice cream, and lemonade.

After dinner everyone grabbed a shower and settled down for the night. The boys headed off to their cabin while the 4 adults stopped by the lounge at the lodge for a quick beer before turning in for the night. We wanted to get plenty of sleep, so we turned in around 9:00 pm.

It was another really enjoyable day. I could hardly wait for the canoeing to start.

This is my 100 Days Strong. Whats yours?
