Event Name: Eagle River Muskie Chal-Lunge

Thank you so much for my first trip with WWIA. I couldn’t have asked for a better trip. The location is amazing and the staff was incredible. So amazing and breathtaking the views and people. I truly appreciate being with my cousin, Hans Grothaus. My guide Andy was amazing, very knowledgeable and a fellow veteran. This trip helped me relax and de-stress from pain and work and healing. I truly hope to be on another event.
