With a distance of about 60 miles, including 10 miles of portaging, Will Barnett, Mike Shelby, and Greg Scudder, staff members of the Northern Tier Somers Boy Scout Base broke the DQ Challenge record. <BR><BR>What’s the challenge... and what’s the reward? These young men woke up at 4 a.m. and were in their canoe by 4:45, shoving off on Moose Lake heading to the Dairy Queen. <BR><BR>We have to consider much of this by ‘rods,’ a measurement of 16 1/2 feet per rod or 320 rods to a mile. Start paddling on Moose Lake then portage 200 rods to Tofte Lake, canoe across that, then portage 220 rods to Ojiway Lake, paddle across that, then a little bitty roller portage into Triangle Lake (paddle), then 190 rods into the Kawisiwi River which connects to Farm Lake (pad-d-d-dle), go north toward Fall Lake, go under the bridge and around the power dam, which flows into the Shagawa River and paddle on until you reach County 88 and get out here.
