"Ten feet above the water then, flaring, air speed bleeding away, I would add a gentle touch of power, and the float keels would sound a staccato chatter on the wave-tops. Full reverse. We were down on the lake, taxiing nonchalantly toward shore like a huge ungainly boat, and my heart was pounding wildly, every damned time."
- DAVE OLESEN, bush pilot and author, in "North of Reliance"

Don't forget Pukaskwa
If you ever make the Circle Tour around Lake Superior, plan to spend some time at Ontario's Pukaskwa National Park near Marathon, Ontario. It's perhaps the most gorgeous hunk of real estate on the whole Lake. Hike the 40-mile Coastal Hiking Trail or kayak the park's wild shoreline.
