Just got off the phone with Todd. He's at the Best Western in Grand Marais. He's tired and sore.

He wasn't able to continue on the Border Route Trail as much of it was submerged, as Todd put it like a 'new river'. His plan is to go for a few more days and see how he's doing. He may come home, he may keep going.

Today is laundry day for Todd. He bought a change of clothes from a Thrift store and is going to wash his 'stinky' trail clothes.

Todd call hid mom and said he might be home by Wednessday. Tman reported that the last few night camping have been hard. Tman I like how you call everyone except for me the person updating your web site.

We got a letter and a picture card with over 500 pictures on it. Some pictures will be on the site later tonight.

Tman says:

I took photos of logs over the trail so I could tell Forest Ranger Corey Munson where the trail needs clearing. I'm doing really good going to Clearwater Lodge from here. The people here at the Gun Flint Lodge have been really good to me.
