Last Year was a good year at BWCA, so this year I am going back with a few friends to enjoy the great fishing, loons, wolves, northern lights, and just the whole wilderness experience. I didn't want to leave last year. 2 nights in a row the wolves and loons gave us a concert together. It was almost like they were trying to outdo each other. And the more intense the northern lights became, the more the wolves howled. We stayed on an island last year and I snorkeled around the whole thing several times, observing the stumps under the water and the fish hiding near the undercuts. Can't wait until this fall. Dave

Planning a trip late August 06 - been planning to go for years. This site has really helped to plan and anticipate what a great time we will hopefully have. 4 of us are going - none of us have ever done anything like this before. It will surely be an adventure and we can't wait to put our trip report up for all to see. Thanks to all who contribute and maintain this site. I could spend hours exploring it.

I made a previous trip through BSA Northern Canoe base two years ago. We decided to do our own trip with my youngest son this year. We leave in a little over 2 weeks. Great info, I will be making a new bear rope off your design, it will be useful for all our backpacking to! Thanks for all the great insight!!!

To all who help maintain this site. Thank you. I found this site before my first trip to BWCA while looking for plans for my first cedarstrip canoe. I am now four trips in two years and two canoes and one kayak built since. Been bit by the bug. All started by a google search of "cedarstrip canoe".

I visited the BWCA 5 times in the late 80s and early 90s, before moving to Seattle. Now I am back in MN, and friends and I are planning a trip there. Your site rekindles the love I have for this place. Nice work.

Lucky for me and my paddling buddy Nick that I stumbled upon your great site. Fabulous pictures and since we are planning our second trip to Quetico in early Sept. 2006 (previous trip same time in 2004) we found the portage info interesting. Can hardly wait, your site will make the wait bearable. Thanks
