  Going Alone (Author's Note: This is a piece of fiction I wrote a long time ago. A few readers have asked to have it available again. Actually, it is "tacked" on to the end of my book A Boundary Waters Fishing Guide. Kind of an inappropriate place for it, since it really has little to do with the rest of the book, but it kept it in print. It originally appeared some years ago in the magazine, Boundary Waters Journal.)
