This topic was started because I wanted to make sure folks appreciate just how special the BWCA is.  I didn't mean the judge anyone. If putting in the miles is your thing- by all means knock yourself out. If you like to base camp, again right hook. I personally like to solo. If you think thats strange thats ok, I am strange. My wife likes to solo as well. She's REALLY strange!! If you can decomprss in a day, god bless you. If you just like to stir the pot, god bless you especially.
