Left Twin Cities on Friday, July 3 around noon, beating traffic. Convoyed to Ely with time to spare to pick up the permit for our Independence Day departure. Went to Sir G's for dinner and then to bed at the Super 8 Motel. Got an early start with motel continental breakfast. Off to Echo Trail Outfitters to pick up the canoes. #14, Little Indian Sioux North is quite a ways up, about an hour. We make it in due course and while Jim and Dave set up the exit shuttle from Moose River N, I organize the boys bringing the gear to river's edge, about 40 rods from the parking lot. James neck got hammered by some deer flies, he regretted refusing DEET.
