Hi Everyone,
I apologize for the delay in responding...I have been away from computers for two weeks.
I was able to get online(via dial-up...yuck!), briefly on the weekend...but now I am glad to be back via high-speed internet, if only for a short time, as I'm going back in this longer weekend, to Join Sean on his trip this weekend, along with Mike B, and hopefully the Swedester as well!
On the day of my birthday, we took a short trip down to the rapids at the south end of the lake, and also traversed the portage to more rapids along the North River.
Thanks for the wishes, and here two quick pic's showing you how beautiful a day it was;
