Voyageur Crew Makes it to International Falls on Day 13

Sunday, June 5, 2011 by Sue Prom
     The Voyageur Hudson Bay Expedition Crew paddled 20 miles today and rewarded themselves with some pizza in International Falls this evening.  They called to check in with us and reported everything is going perfectly.
     They really enjoyed their time canoeing in the Quetico Park.  They loved the old stands of White and Red Pines along the Maligne River, the great fishing at the bottom of the falls and the solitude of the wilderness.
     They didn't enjoy waiting out the wind or paddling against it all day today.  They haven't seen a canoe for a few days but they have seen hundreds of motor boats.  Of the many boats sporting huge motors only three have bothered to slow down to not produce a wake for our Hudson Bay paddlers; two of which were government boats.  There's a different attitude about canoeists in Voyageurs National Park.
     The next few days will find the crew paddling the Rainy River to Lake of the Woods.  It isn't wilderness canoeing but it is canoeing nonetheless.

We just met the guys camping out in my husband's mother's neighbor's backyard. We had a beer and shot the breeze. We told them where to find the grocery store and the shortest route back to the river. Good luck guys!!!

Hi guys! Sorry about the winds! And with my Irish blessing and all (wind always at your back, etc). Can't imagine why it isn't working. When you get to the land in the Lake of the Woods area kiss the ground for me. I was born "way up north" in a little town called Roosevelt which is not to far from Baudette. Actucally about 1/2 mile as the crow flys from Rocky Point. If you see a resort called Arneson's on Rocky Point (somewhere between Warroad and Baudette) go have dinner on me. They would know me as Gloria Keeler. My auntie Jean Christian was also their aunt by marriage. Tell them to send me the bill in Duluth. They can track me down through the Christian Brothers or Irvin Keeler or of course through Kristi O at VCO. And no hamburgers! Have steaks! Be safe and enjoy! Love and Prayers from - Kristi O's Grandma Gloria
