I encountered very few - except one horse fly that wanted my hide while I was swimming in Lake Superior.
Get ready - I'm planning a similar trip in the NC/TN/GA area for probably next spring.

Wow, absolutely amazing photos so far. Joash, that shot of the log on the beach with the Huron Islands in the back ground is incredible. I want that on my wall! Ha ha
Absolutely huge thanks to Tom. He had no idea what he was getting into when he got involved this year. Due to a late in the game work travel conflict I was unable to be there but Tom didn't flinch and shouldered the whole thing single handedly. Sounds like it went about as smooth as it could have and that is also thanks in part to everyone who helped chip in in one way or another.
To me that is what this trip is all a out. The crazy tricked out rigs and the occasional challenge on the trail are all fun, but it is the people that really make the trip what it is. We have resisted the urge to commercialize this trip and dillute the essential core of what makes it so special. That is, hanging out wi th an eclectic mix of folks in some of the most beautiful scenery in The world.
Because of the nature of my work I can basically choose to live pretty much any where in the world. There is a reason I choose the UP and it is simply no other place yet that I have visited or lived that really strikes the same chord as this region does for me. The geography, the geology, the history, the local culture, and yes oh yes, the water....... It is an amazing experience for me to help get to share this to so many.
Looking forward to more pics. Tom is putting some finishing touches on a video that he will post to our Vimeo page. Stay tuned
