This spring I started thinking of trying my first BWCA solo trip. My wife and I attended the 2011 Spring Wing Night, and I discussed with Kanoes a possible solo route beginning at Seagull Lake. Kanoes advised I go on smaller lakes for a first solo, and talking with JB and Diva, they suggested EP #6, Slim Lake, as a nice but easy area. I did some research and decided this would be my entry point. I was locked out of the prime late May through June period, as the Misses and I were busy planning and organizing a big, formal wedding for our eldest daughter on 7/16/11. Well, we made that happen and one week after I booked an August 1 entry date for EP #6. I then called Voyageur North Outfitters to reserve a solo canoe, bunk house stay, and a shuttle to and from the entry. I was set. A loving thanks to the Misses for letting me do this, despite her worries. NOTE: I could not get the links to my videos to work here.
