Thanks for the story Dave. I also had to cut a trip short this 
weekend to the Boundary Waters due to relentless rain and eventual 
soaking.

Here is a question for the group. I too often suffer bad headaches on 
the first day of a trip, no doubt due to sun and exertion. Anyone 
have good solutions to beat these before they come on (Vitamin I 
(Ibubrofen)?) and once they do come on?

Obviously staying hydrated and avoiding too much sun being one 
solution. Any others?
