Where abouts, Riverrat? My folks live up there as well - small town called Outing, near Emily/Crosby, not too far from Brainerd. One of these days, I'll be heading out there with boat in tow...
We sure enjoyed cruising up in your Voyageurs National Park and along your Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers -- marvelous water. Although, we must admit, right about now we prefer a locale a little farther south.
