Some Midwest Wilderness

[adktyler]

Well hello there, everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful summer so far. I have enjoyed reading many of your trip reports thus far; sounds like a lot of good times have already been had!

Several people have asked how the Midwest is treating me, and how the various trips have been going. I just thought I’d share a little photo journal of the somewhat ok photos that I have so far. I’ve been co-leading 3-5 day trips in the Apostle Islands on Lake Superior, several local rivers, and later this week in Itasca State Park. Hopefully I’ll have some better photos later on of Voyageurs National Park and Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness.

And sorry to you hiking purists, but I’m doing mostly paddling trips. Hope you still like sunsets. I’ll let the photos do the rest of the talking, they do a much better job than me.

Hey Tyler . . . thanks for posting this report! Not only are the photos fabulous, but it also tells me that you’re enjoying your time in the Midwest, which is a very good thing!

I look forward to other reports from your Midwest experience.

Beautiful shots! They remind me of my summers on Lake Huron/Michigan/Superior.

Thanks!! I am having a good time. When something funny happens I'll write a real report. I miss the East Coast, though, quite a bit!

Thanks! Superior is awesome! Did you used to spend the summers out here, or something like that?

Haha, it's been nothing but sunny (except for a day or three of rain). I hear that things have been a little bit wet out East, lol. Good summer for whitewater!

Yeah, that rocky Apostle Island shoreline photo looks like it could be from the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan. Beautiful images. Looking forward to the MinneSOta photos. And who says there is no wilderness in flatland country.

Awesome, lovely place I hear (co-worker from that area).

Yes, it certainly is beautiful. And some of the best wilderness, I've found, is in the flatlands. Thanks!
