Amy and I have been together for three years. We are not yet married but one day will be.

Last year was her first BWCAW trip. We went with another couple. It was the first trip for them as well. We will not be returning with them, but Amy and I leave on the evening of May 31st for a June 1st entry.

We are going alone this time, her decision. I foresee many more trips. She is just as excited as I am.

The best part of our trip last year was when we left the base camp on North Wilder and made our way, alone, to South Wilder for three days.
