A lap around Lake Superior

[Ole]

Hawk, it was a very relaxing week. With great weather.
This is where my Dad and I and two high school buddies put in our canoes in May of 1980 for a canoe trip into Canada. It is Saganaga Lake.



I remember meeting two hippies smoking pot in their canoe on the second to last day of our canoe trip. We asked them if anything new had happened in the world as we had no contact with anyone for about 10 days. They said "dude havent you heard about that mountain that blew up in Washington and buried a bunch of dudes alive?"
no we hadn't heard that and for sure did not believe them for a minute
they was just pot smoking hippies right? what do they know?
Of course as soon as we hit the landing a couple told us that indeed Mt St Helens had erupted and killed 60 people

We got off the bikes at the end of the road Nat Forest campground and just hung
it was 80F up there very warm for late september

our campsite was about 100 yards from the big lake
we walked into town for beers and supper



the marina at Grand Marais





Oh Canada in the morning,,,,,

Nice! Beautiful territory. Any troubles at all?

mr ferret the bikes ran perfect no troubles at all
I had enough tools along to do a major engine rebuild and did not even take em out of the bag
of course I take a small air comp and tire plugger on all my trips and have used them on several occasions but not this time
the only prob we had was one shoulder blade pain and one sore hamstring
but the old guy (me) had no issues it was the youngsters who did
I guess my body is used to long rides I have done so many
I know how you guys and gals like pics so I will link some more in here.
