Never, ever book reservations at a fishing resort during walleye season. The people below me last night started playing bean bag toss at 11 pm inside their suite. I kept hearing this ka-thunk, ka-thunk, ka-thunk. Finally at 11:45 I walked downstairs and knocked on their door and asked them to quit tossing the bean bag.
It was raining out so they apparently moved the bean bag toss inside. They said they didn’t realize anyone was upstairs. I went back to bed. They started talking, laughing, drinking, and otherwise having a great time until 3 am. They could have kept going but I realized I had a white noise app on my phone. I turned on the app and turned up the white noise selection to high. I was able to doze off around 3:30 am.
After my rounds today, I came back to about 8 people playing bean bag outside. I’m sure I’ll hook up the white noise again tonight. I doubt they fished much today.
I had breakfast at the restaurant/bar. I’m beginning to suspect it wasn’t me that made the mistake reservation-wise. The woman who took the reservation (TWWTTR ) was running the bar. After I explained, she just kind of shook her head.
As an explanation of my suspicion, last night, someone ordered a Blue Moon beer on tap. The woman who ordered it brought it back to the bartender and stated it was not Blue Moon. The woman who took my reservations apologized and couldn’t seem to correct it.
This morning at breakfast, the story comes out they hired someone to bring in the kegs to the cold room and hook up the taps. They apparently failed to realize there was a numbering system (and the kegs are not marked by brand except at the tap – when you connect them, you remove the identification of the keg).
Now the problem becomes how many did the guy hook up wrong. Were they selling the wrong beer all night? TWWTTR decided it had been switched with Fat Tire. Her husband wasn’t so sure. They kept messing around with the taps, kept tasting the beer – I volunteered – and it seemed to me the two taps (Fat Tire and Blue Moon) were the same.
It was then I realized the TWWTTR was reading the numbers wrong on the taps. Her husband just shook his head.
In between all this, I finally got breakfast (it took a while to get the order, get the husband back in the kitchen to cook it, and then bring it out. I left them wondering how many kegs had been mislabeled at the taps.
I stopped in at the Voyageur’s Trail loop as you turned into the Ash River Visitor Center (closed, of course). It was a short 0.5 mile trail that led you down from uplands to bottom lands and back up again. It was a neat, easy trail.
Voyageurs is an interesting park. It is designed for boating. Thirty-eight per cent of the area is water with a few hiking trails. There are no camp sites available except by canoe or boat of some type. Since I wasn’t going to canoe or boat to a campsite, I chose Ash-ka-nam resort.

My next stop was Beaver Lake Overllook, a short 0.4 mile round trip trail with a great view of a lake formed by beavers (alas, I didn’t see any).
From there, I decided to head to the one visitor center that was open of the three in the park – Rainy Lake – which is east of International Falls. To do that, I had to go to International Falls, something I’ve always wanted to do. It consistently has the coldest temperatures during the winter in the contiguous U.S.
At Rainy Lake, I hiked the Oberholtzer trail which had a couple of loops that looked out over Rainy Lake. The trail ended up as a 1.95 mile in and out trail with nice wildflowers.
I returned to International Falls, washed clothes, had a blizzard at Dairy Queen, and bought a subway sandwich for dinner.
Before you place too much blame on TWWTTR, let me let you in on a dirty little secret. Yesterday, when I was packing up the tent, I forgot I had not taken my glasses out of the tent. There are pockets in the tent and I always put my glasses in one of the pockets by the cot before I go to sleep. They are now safely ensconced in the Kingdom 8 tent and stored in the Thule carrier.
Hopefully, the frames are flexible enough that they are OK. When I take the tent out to air it, I’ll hopefully recover intact glasses. Thankfully, I have a spare I keep in the jeep. So, maybe I did fail to make the reservations – not.
Tomorrow, I head for Ashland, Wisconsin for a quick overnight before heading to Isle Royale. I’ll be taking the seaplane out of Hancock, Michigan. I’ll spend one night at the seaplane base’s cabin, one night camping on Isle Royale, and if the seaplane makes it back the next day, I’ll spend a second night at the cabin.
