Isle Royale: Of significant note...

The last night of the trip, as we hung out in our cabin relaxing after showers & before dinner, we got to talking about lessons learned. There were many, but there were some of particular note.
  • The American Dental Association should be notified that Steve should be a poster child of sorts. The man flossed not once, but at least twice a day...in the wilderness! What an example.
  • Diann deserves special recognition. She put together a dispenser case with at least 16 different spices and seasoning blends for a culinary adventure within our adventure. Truly yummy.
  • Robin gets special recognition for insisting on us buying a particular powdered milk product, that the guys fairly raved about. I was reticent as it cost 3 x the normal stuff, but she said it would be worth it. I was sure the guys wouldn't notice, and I couldn't believe it as their jaws dropped at the creamy good taste.
  • Lee gets special recognition for her ability to sleep through her husband's snoring. Lee, you're an amazing woman!
Northern Pike caught, cleaned and cooked by Don
  • Don received the tribal honor of being named "The Bringer of Fish and Fire". Through Don's significant efforts we had fish for dinner 2 - 3 nights...the last night he was the only one able to make fire. His handy dandy high tech fire starter was the only thing that worked on wet wood (laundry lint). Yeah Don!
