08/23/2018 07:01PMTomT: "Yep, Voyageur North outfitters emailed me that it should be in place for a good while. Good to know so I can pack more fuel and leave the wood splitter (hatchet) home. Very true. I haven't had any measurable rain at my house north of Two Harbors since 8 August. The woods and soil are DRY. The half inch of rain predicted over the weekend won't do anything to reduce the fire risk in canoe country. |

08/20/2018 08:23PM Quetico office called me today to advise me of the current fire ban and to bring more fuel if we had planned on using a campfire to cook. They said there are currently 8 fires in the park. |

08/16/2018 10:16PMJaywalker: "They have been making outbound calls to people before their trips? That's pretty impressive. " Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool. Seagull Outfitters also called to alert me on the same day — they’re my tow on Sunday. Pretty happy to have been able to have had an early alert. |
