We just got back from the Boundary Waters in northern Minnesota (Ely) near the Canadian border where we did a four-day canoe trip. It involved paddling across lakes with all our camping gear, food, etc. Some days there were multiple portages. The weather was great, the scenery spectacular. We saw Bald eagles every day, saw Trumpeter swans, saw (and heard!) Loons, watched beavers swimming past our campsite, saw various unidentified ducks… We had been talking about doing this for a couple of years and had almost decided that we had aged out of this adventure when my son caught wind of it and insisted that we go. It was fun to do with him and he is at an age where he can look forward to doing similar trips many more times. We hardly scratched the surface! More than a million acres of wilderness!
Check out these two guys for valid COVID info.

I know we've only met via this board, but I'm so sorry to hear this. Seriously, if you need anything, please let us know. Even just a home-cooked meal ( if you trust us) :). We'll be praying for ya!
Soft muddy trails even with the afternoon sunshine.
I'd give it a day or two and the hero dirt will appear! Our Wednesday group ride is cancelled but we will do an urban ride from the shop instead.
