  • Howdy fellow adventurers, We finally did it. Wavey and I are starting the great loop. We decided to launch into the St. Croix River (Hudson), which is just about as far North as anyone can start the great loop without starting in Superiorland. I decided to share some of what it takes to pull off moving onto the rivers for 6 months...solo. Since we all know the beagle isn't much help. :) Thanks for coming along--we're just getting started...

    Chico tunnels under the bed covers and makes himself a cave. I know it's him because I touch a pile and hear, "GrrGRRRRrr" which means "wha cha want?"
