Well, you will definitely give your companions a real taste of the BWCA if you take the Nina-Moose route in the summer.  You'll experience portage gridlock and campsite anxiety (will we find an open campsite before dark??)  I suggest you basecamp on the other side of long portage that dead-ends in one lake.  You should lose most of the horde that way. Good luck!   prouboy

I really hope that's not the case, but for a 4-day trip, we don't really have many options for *real* solitude that I'm aware of. My first suggestion was Angleworm, but my cousins would probably declare mutiny and bury me in the woods before we got halfway down the first portage...
