NO FREAKIN WAY...........
Yea, we need to talk............and Maybe, you need to come on one of the trips I'm planning.
BUT as for the paddle, we CHEAT...........I pay 70 bucks 1 way to get a tow to prairie portage, and then to Lincoln island, which cuts off about 1 full day of paddling.

well back then {the mid 60`s) you could use motors,,we used 14ft alum v-hulls with 6hp`s. Took us 6hrs of boat rideing to get to north bay, but a kid of 10 or 11 that was great,,,we even lashed the boats together and run on 1 motor,,would have snecks and all going up the lake,,,mom would hand them over on a boat paddle,,,it was so great back then,,,the fishing was out of this wourld,,but after 7 or 8yrs,,,we just started staying in Ely on litt;e long lake,,,best smallie lake i`ve ever been too,,,got a couple of smallies from their on the wall...if i had anyplace on this earth to retire to,,,it be Ely
