Wayne's Fishing Trip

Kitchi Island Outpost, Manitoba, Canada

Wayne was invited to go along with 3 other guys from church on a fly-in fishing trip in August.  They drove up to a resort north of Winnipeg on Wednesday, August 22 and then flew in via float plane to the cabin on the lake on Thursday, August 23.  After 7 full days of fishing they flew out and drove home on Wednesday, August 29.  He came home rested and refreshed.
