It would appear the people who administer and enforce the regulations are at least slightly better at their job then the people who do their websites.  I think the problem at least partially lies in the attempts to digest and summarize the regulations - both for the Q and BWCA traveler but also more broadly - for the internet.  I wish they would publish the actual regulations as well.  (I've discovered that for a lot of BWCA regulations, they are still just in hardcopy and not stored electronically so not widely available.)

PS - and the $1000 wouldn't be so bad but I think you can also never return to Canada!  Who among us wants to risk never being able to return to the Quetico?  A fate worse than death.  I wonder if it would prevent my sons from taking my ashes there?

I'll be hiding in a Nalgene bottle and have Portage Dog sneak me in. PD, I'll pm you the spot but you have a pretty good idea where. 

Pajeff,

I'll be your Huckleberry!  Assuming, of course I (hopefully) outlast you!  I dropped some of my dad's ashes along the falls from Sucker to Basswood in '09.  He used to fish up in some lakes with an old friend outside the park, but I have no clue where that was.  I got to go along once when young.  It would have been Crown Land. 

As to the passport question, I have one of the Passport Cards that I carry with on Q trips.  Of course, in an incapcitated state, it would not likey find it's way with me if medevac'd out.
