Ladies, welcome. If I can have your attention, please. Today, we gather here at Indianhead to celebrate a special milestone – the 40 th birthday of our fearless Captain Anne.

Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) summer 2024 trip We had a perfect week in the BWCA. Blue skies every day, highs in the upper 70s, lows in the 50s. No rain. Minimal bugs. We had a fantastic site. Nice day trips and picnic lunches. Caught some fish. Played games and roasted s'mores. Other than the full moon putting a damper on the night sky and northern lights, it was basically a 5 stay week! We made some haiku's the describe the trip, enjoy!
