Arrowhead Journey

HEY THERE Mr. ERIK!!

I had the pleasure of meetiing a friend of yours, Randy (assuming it is the same Randy S. that is posted here several times), on Grand Island this weekend. We took a walk while our significant others were running the 10K trail race. He enlightened me about your trip! WOW!! is all I could think of saying!! This is probably not a very unique response, but just my immediate reaction to your very zealous friend…who impressed me greatly when talking about your friendship, and your many talents … you are a rare and unique find in a world of too many bland characters.

So, I just wanted to wish you well on your journey..and I will, hopefully, see your adventures in print someday…you sound like an amazing man.

E!!!
Wanted to let you know Fred Marks of Ely and Canton, MS stopped by the park Sunday to look you up. He is sorry he missed you and hopes your trip is good. Comments that they made it to Hudson Bay =) Take care, amber.

My wife and I did the misissipi from bemidji to big sandy lake, across the savannah portage to floodwood and down to I-35 at cloquet. The east savannah river is choked with downed trees and beaver dams, the east end of the portage trail in the park is overgrown, and the middle section is underwater. A very difficult journey that has its own special rewards. we did the whole portage from big sandy to floodwood in one day because we stuck to the roads and used portage wheels. good luck.
PS- I am currently canoeing from rochester ny to baltimore.

Hey, Erik. Jim Ouray here, the puppet guy from North House. I moved down here to Duluth over the winter. Remember Rachel? We visited with our kids while you were building a canoe at Portage the summer before last. We live on the beach at Park Point. 1014 S. Lake Ave.(five houses past the new, large white condo monstrosity, about 1/4 mi. from the bridge). If you care to visit, rest, bathe, eat, and or camp here, we would be delighted. We also have a guest bedroom if you like. There’s a large pine tree and several canoes in the back yard. You’re welcome any time. If we don’t see you, best wishes and have a great trip. By the way, the Summer Solstice Pageant is going to be about the Voyageurs this year. Have fun! Jim

Erik, Vern stopped by and let me know of your new beginning…a new chapter of your life journey. Anna and I will be thinking of you and visualizing your powerful experiences, as we work in the garden this summer. May all your animal allies be with you. Regards and best wishes, j.sun

Terve Niiji,
