Chippewa National Forest canoe trip

We had a great canoe trip in Chippewa National forest. Caught lots of fish, swam, and portaged all over. Because it is a national forest (not like the BWCA) ATVs are permitted and the first night we have VERY loud neighbors tearing up the woods till 2:30 am on the other side of the lake. But the next night was very quite after they left. We also got caught in a small but solid thunder storm on the lake. The waves weren't to bad in the middle, however the wind did tip over trees on the shore line while we paddled. Unfortunately for us, it also tipped a tree over on our car at the boat launch, but we didn't find that out till the next day. The damage was only to the roof rack and a dent to the roof. Over all it was a great trip, the kids and us had a TON of fun!

That's too bad about the noisy neighbors! I hate it when I run into people like that. I'm glad the rest of the trip was good.
