Voyagers

In the morning we packed up the tent and visited the swing bridge at Jay Cook and scrambled on the rocks beside the river. Then we headed north to Voyagers National Park. We set up camp at the Wooden Frog State Forest. We let the girls decide on the campsite. They enjoyed making the choice right by the lake.

We visited the Rainy Lake visitor center so the girls could get another Junior Ranger badge.

We slept well that night in the tent.

In the morning, on our way to the Ash River visitor center, we stopped by Sandy Point resort to ask if we could rent a canoe. The resort owner said we sure could. He charged us ten dollars for 2 hours which was a heckuva deal so we gave him fifteen. Then we visited the Ash River visitor center.

Then we went on a 3 hour hike from the visitor center. We got a few mosquito bites on the trail but we also found ripe blueberries. The girls thought they didn't like blueberries. Turns out they do like blueberries when they are wild. The flavor of the wild blueberry is ten times better than store bought.

This is my first time visiting Voyagers National Park in over 40 years.
