Wow what a trip! We had so much fun and such great service! You delivered on new boats, seats, and motors. We all were so happy with the equipment. More than enough fuel for the boats and for cooking. We had two camp checks and just overall exceptional service! I broke my personal record and caught a 27" Walleye and a 37" Pike. Thank you for everything. You exceeded our expectations and we hope to come back! Please keep the Northend Outpost going strong, it is such a great place. We LOVED it!
