Thanks everyone….we think the magic number was in a little tiny town in northern Minnesota called Grylga at a baseball field. I had a blast that weekend exploring the far northern reaches of the lower 48 by going to the Northwest Angle and boarding a boat for Garden Island in Lake of the Woods.
Even managed a couple Manitoba caches and found an underwater international boundary benchmark.
Trekkin’ is a Yooper so I’ve seen a bit of that lifestyle, but I’m telling you….this area makes the U.P look positively urbane. We weren’t really planning on doing bunches of DeLorme challenges, but I’m Minnesota born and bred and it’s given me a chance to see parts of my home state I’d never seen, as well as revisiting some old favorites with new eyes. We’re about 2/3 of the way through now. I do believe, though, the the DeLorme champs from central Wisconsin may very well have added a new one to their list this past week. Just sayin’.
