I had gone on a five day kayaking trip with two longtime female friends. We kayaked the first two days on a couple of rivers, enjoying the solitude of the national forest. The third day one of the friends didn't want to go because of a sore back, so we went with just two of us on a nice secluded river. We stopped along the river for a bathroom break, and I...

A buddy and I had paddled north from Vermillion Lake to Crane Lake on the Minnesota-Canadian border.
