So many questions . . .

Do you people ask for other people's permits?  Or, do they volunteer the info?  How do you get so close to people to have a conversation?  Do you paddle up to people?  They paddle up to you?  If so, why don't you paddle away from them?  Where are you having all this interpersonal communication in the Quetico?  (You must enter from the  PP Interstate down south I assume)

I've heard that the PhantomJug has spent unpaid nights in the Q too - but 6?  C'mon.  Look, I'm sure it's happened but certainly not enough to warrant the emergency flag that ST threw up here.  If an outfitter is going to live and work right next door to gov't controlled real estate that they depend on for a living, well . . . you get what you get I'm afraid.  While they offer a service for many people I'm sure, no one owes them a living.  

And Wally, BH is not in the park.  You enter the park once you complete the portage into no name, quetico or the river on the west.

I can't believe you guys have so many conversations with other people up there though ? ? ?  Ive frequented Quetico 2 or more times per year since 1993 and can recall maybe 2 times when I had a conversation with someone other than an MNR ranger.  Weird.

My only point here is that I believe ST regurgitated some things he probably heard that I have to believe that even HE thinks are moot, insignificant political issues for the purpose of exaggerating a point.  There is no "Illegal camper" crisis or "trail head camping" crisis.  What we have are whining outfitters, tribal ranger and hear-say.
