Friday, July 19, 2013 Checked our electronics and noticed we missed a massive storm that night in the BWCA. That was good news, then some bad news. All the hotels in the area were booked for a convention in Duluth. We eventually found a small motel in central Wisconsin around 1AM. Have to admit, the bed felt good all 7 hours of sleep.
Final thoughts – during the toughest portage I thought of work and said, this is better than sitting in front of a computer screen. I plan to go back soon, hopefully next year. My last trip to the BWCA I took my DSLR and was afraid I would damage it and never took it out. This time I had an inexpensive ($50) water proof digital camera. Didn’t have a worry about keeping it in my pfd and took lots. By the way, did I mention I over packed… definitely rethink that next time.
