The days in late September in northern Minnesota bring blue skies, warmish days, cool nights, and a calm, quiet existence. To this end, Ray and Marilyn Vibyral and Gordon and Allene (Rudolph) Rondeau traveled to Voyageurs National Park for a time of houseboating, fishing, and generally enjoying their beautiful surroundings and long-time friendship.

While many pictures were provided, we felt these best showed the results of their fishing endeavors.
Gordon seems to have done very well.
Ray, on the other hand, seems to prefer the inanimate type of fish; however, perhaps he was practicing a new kind of "catch and release".
