I'm curious - why is there so much emphasis on Quetico all the time? I understand that it is more remote and thus less populated, but I can't help feeling like those of us who are still exploring the BWCA are looked down at by the veterans. I never seem to get responses to my questions by some of the familiar names on this site. I hope someday to reach your level of experience and do hope to get to Quetico, but for now the BWCA is still challenging for me. I know what people mean when they speak of heavily used camp sites in the BWCA, but I wonder - if we all seek to carve a new place out, what happens to those who come along later? I don't mean to be confrontative and certainly have tons of respect for you wily veterans. I'm still trying to learn all the "good stuff" and really enjoy it when folks share their knowledge. Please don't pass us BWCA folks by!
