Our trip is coming to a close.  After being out for 7 days and traveling over 95 miles and packing our gear over 30+ portages we find ourselves paddling across a familiar lake.  Knife lake famous for so many reasons from a spot used by many to make the sharp edged tools needed to survive to the home of Dorothy Molter.  We paddled under sunny skies making our way back out to Ely.  This half of the Voyagers highway was a great trip.  The sights are amazing and the history of those traveling before you humbles one as you pack your lightweight canoe over the portages.  Thanks for joining us on this trip, it will be one I remember for the rest of my life.
