Hey John,
Don't think of it as a trip of a life time. Think of it as your first or next trip of a life time.... I don't know many people who have been able to limit themselves to just one journey into this pardise. Good luck enjoy, stop and savor. Grab a seat for the great sunsets , the amazing sunrises, the northern lights..... Ahhhh pat the granite for me.

John, there is an old Ojibaway tradition of sprinkling a little tobacco on in the water for the Kashapeewee before starting out on a long paddle trip.
I have always adhered to the tradition and my trips have been mightily blessed by the Kashapeewee, (Creator) filled with the actions of the Mimigushi (local spirit Tricksters) and I have ridden on the backs of the thunderbirds. (vehicals to the spirit world in local mythology) and my boat has been filled with fish and blue berries. Haven't dared to run the toll booth so I can't give you a contrary story. Still for all of that don't forget to give the lady her due.
