Hi, longtime paddler, first time poster to this site.
I'm taking a sabbatical next summer.  Will start with a five week canoe trip, the first three solo.  The compromise with my wife is that I will do the solo in (the more populated) BWCA with a Spot GPS Messenger before heading to Quetico with the friend who will be joining me at Cache Bay for the final two weeks.
Anyway, I'm looking at beginning the solo at Crane Lake and meandering my way east to the Sag entry.  Aside from a trip last summer that started at Fall and went up to Ensign, Kekekabic and down through Insula and the Kawishiwi River, I've done most of my BWCA paddling in the central and eastern parts of the park.  Any "must sees" for the northwest/west BWCA?
