One of my favorite sounds in the whole world is the sound of a canoe paddle cutting through water.  A tent, a pack, and a canoe were all we needed a few weeks ago as we headed to the Boundary Waters with our friends, April and Jesse Schutt.  We appreciated getting to know April and Jesse better and loved taking in the beauty of the area.  The Boundary Waters is a region of wilderness straddling the Canada–United States border between Ontario and Minnesota, in the region just west of Lake Superior. The paddle was great, portages sweet, tenting good….plus we got to see a moose and heard a pack of wolves howling one night!  The last night and paddle was pretty brutal. With high winds and cold temperatures, it made for an exciting paddle back to the outfitters.
