Thanks for reading Audrey! I really love Canada, but yes, that one time I can't say I did. Of all the times I've crossed the border since then, I have never been stopped like that. I think it was the karma of the little red Brat :)

Awesome story Michelle. Wonder how long the border will take to open so you can come back.

Thanks Barbara-Helen, I appreciate your comments and the read. I have no idea when the border will open. I heard August 9th, but that was before Delta took off down here. I would keep us all out as long as you can - haha!

Loved this and remembered the stories all of you told about that particular trip🤣🤣and it brought back wonderful memories I have of the trip I made with most of this same group of adventurers and my introduction to the quetico. Best memories of a lifetime 🛶🛶

Oh wow Phyllis, it was incredible that you joined one of our trips. Wasn't it epic? I love that place so much. My memory is a bit fuzzy, so if I forget to tell something or get something wrong, let me know. Hugs from here :)

Thanks for the comments and the read Elizabeth! I really wish we could do a trip like that in T. Bay one of these days :)

LOL, describing Sherri as a "put it in drive and go," kind of gal. The canoe toss was a delicious fruit of exasperation catching me by surprise. Cheers!

Thanks Jim! I couldn't find my old pics to scan in (yes I'm that old - ha!) so I found Josh Hold who lives up there and is a great photographer. He captured the feeling and place better than I did at the time I think :)
