A Day on the Au Sable

	In July of 2004 Ann, Thunder and I took a 4 hour canoe trip down the Au Sable River. We started at Carlisle Canoes in Grayling, MI and paddled to Stephan's Bridge. It was a beautiful day. We packed a lunch and even managed to keep Thunder in the Canoe for the entire trip! Click on any of the pictures for a larger view.

Sylvania Wilderness

In August of 2003 Ann and I meet up with some old friends of mine. We toured Michigan's Upper Peninsula and spent four nights canoe camping in the Sylvania Wilderness near Watesmeet, MI. Click on any of the pictures below for a larger view.

BWCAW

Here are some photographs from our vacation to The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Northern Minnesota within the Superior National Forest. These pictures were taken in early August 2002. Ann and I were accompanied by our good friends Brad and Kate on our trip of the voyageurs. We paddled over 25 miles in five days, logged several hours fishing, and portaged the canoe over miles of wilderness trails. Click on any of the pictures below for a larger view.
