Might have to get you one of those birth certificates and make sure your doctor "doctors" it appropriately....

You’re brothers. You’re last names translate to ‘portage monkey’.  Cool

Mainly, I just don't want permits for my entry point & date to run out if it turns out that the law dictates that campsites are restricted to family members.  If THAT happens, I'm looking to Wally13 to quickly "adopt me."  I think he's older than me by a couple days or so; maybe no one will notice.

So, being that close in age, I'm guessing you can't pass yourselves off as half-brothers.

Yeah, but then you have to do some 'splain' why there are two SEPARATE hammocks!   Roll Eyes Cheesy

I agree with OS - re: Sasquatch, but I'm bringing some Jack Links just in case....not so much on the 'we are all adults'.....well, technically maybe.... Shocked

I'm on the forgiveness side of the forgiveness/permission continuum.  From a legal-ese perspective, officials have to say certain things to avoid potential litigation and to be able to say 'we told you so....'  In practice, uncommon sense should prevail.  I think Uncle Magic and I will be just fine.

As for usage....looking at permit availability, I think there will be a mix.  There's those of us that have been Jones'in to get out and will take whatever wilderness paddle fix we can get - I think you'll see that pent up demand open up, plus all us Quetico'ers that can't cross the border (I'm not pushing the forgiveness thing THAT far....) are opting for the BW. 

On the other hand, many of the youth group trips are not happening.  Scouts BSA summer camps are getting cancelled, High Adventure trip pushed out or cancelled and the like.  I'm sure other youth org's and churches are facing the same issues - like safely staffing and training staff before campers show up.  Plus, Ma said ya' ain't going.  I think you'll see very few youth groups, at least early in the season.

And youth groups and activities being canceld isn't just canoe trips.  Here in Ohio, almost all upcoming high school summer sports camps are either canceled, postponed or on hold....football, basketball, etc.  Noone knows what's gonna happen to fall sports in the high schools, let alone classes....it's a big unknown mess...

I haven't been to the BWCAW for over 30 years because I prefer Quetico.  I have probably made about 10 trips to the BWCAW, but never did particularly well fishing.  I did like the canoe rest stops and even the signs were ok.  I wouldn't know where to go and where to fish any more.  I have been debating if I knew Quetico would be closed for the season would I go to the BWCAW as a second choice.  Right now I think I would defer going to the BWCAW.

Yup, the BWCAW is all fished out. No reason to go there. If you caught anything, it would likely be an invasive species like Quetico carp...
