Wonderful blog read! It is a place we intend to go. A friend of mine makes skin on frame though I have stayed with strip. Incredibly light and nimble...and I have learned to keep hold of them while putting them on a roof as the wind can make them sail away. We also have a screen tent though ours is a heavy one... what's the weight of yours and ease of set up? There is something about the Northern woods, lakes and streams. A hard place to go with the bugs and mud but worth it in the end. Great trip!

Very nice report.
The pace seemed just right!
We have a clam and love it but are having some challenges on how to best carry it.
Do you carry it in your trailer?

Thanks.

You are really bringing back memories of my time - formative years I could say - in my home state of Wisconsin and the north woods. Thank you for a nice glimpse, and such a relaxing trip, in your Minnesota! Well done!

Buckland, yes, we love the lightweight boats. Not sure what the Clam weighs, maybe 30 pounds? The real advantage is how easy it goes up and comes down- literally less than a minute each way. Thanks for your comments!

Smlobx, Thanks for your comments! Yes, the Clam is a big package. It does ride in the trailer- just fits lengthwise. It would be tough to carry in the camper. I have thought I could strap it on the roof but I haven't done that yet. We do love it for buggy times.

Ski, glad to bring back some memories and thanks for your comments! The country here couldn't be much more different from where you are usually hanging out- it's kind of the anti-desert. You and the Lady will have to make a journey out here sometime.

Wow! Thanks so much for sharing your experiences in MN. Your details are amazing and comprehensive. MN is a annual fishing destination for myself, my wife and Paige (our golden retriever). Love the clam bug enclosure! MN. mosquitoes are voracious in the shade. The canoe and kayak construction is impressive as well. We are taking delivery of a new Grandby this week. It will be our base camp for MN fishing adventures. Great read!

I like the way that you really add tons of photos because sometimes some travel bloggers would just explain their experience and sometime sit is hard to imagine what the writer is telling. Hoping to see more photos in your next review!

Wondering what materials are used in your kayak and canoe? The covering and wood frame?
