Isle Royale 2008. Great trip. What a team.

I jokingly said on the first day that someday someone will convince me I had a good time. No such convincing needed. I had great time!


Cythia "Rouge Wave" Schaefer
Team Captain and Moral Compass and Swing Dance Instructor.
Kept the team down to only 1 illegal camp fire.


Amanda "Positive Attitude" Norgren
Amanda is trooper. Her first backpacking trip: she handled it like a pro.


Ben "Strike 3" Beard
ben has spent more nights camping than the rest of us put together.


Sam "Uke Player" Kilpela
Sam contributed some music so I could work on my Swing Dancing at the campsites.


Mikael (make up your own description in the comments)



Enjoying the views to Canadia.


The daily chore of pumping water.


Too many good pics to sort thru, so here are some highlights and random ones.
