BWCA

I'm trying to get some new ideas for the series of trips I'm planning for the BWCA this summer

Okay Luke.

I'll be doing every lake on the boundary again this summer for work between North Fowl and Lac La Croix, albeit small sections every other week. That's all I've ever done but it's enjoyable. Every night we get a different campsite as we canoe along, do some work, and stopping to fish every so often. My job doesn't provide the best gear so if you see some people portaging black contractor trash bags you probably passed my coworkers.

What sort of work?

I've done both. If I'm solo I like to stay at a new site each night. Last Summer with my work schedule I wasn't able to do any actual BWCA trips but a few time I drove up to the Ely area canoe camped at a few different forest service remote sites for a couple days during some off weekends.

Surveying and repairing border monuments. If you've been on the border lakes then you might have seen little metal posts in rocks or larger ones set in concrete on some portages. My job usually isn't doing the Boundary Waters but this and last summer have been the exception. It's a once a decade kind of thing but I'm glad I get to be there
