Wood Lake May 2014
by adludwig
The only rain of the trip came down heavy during the night. We awoke to a campsite full of puddles. We had done a decent job of covering everything the night before. We quickly boiled water for instant oatmeal, then got the last pot of coffee on. We wolfed down breakfast as we crammed and packed everything into their rightful place. We clocked how much time it took to go from site to vehicle, and it was an hour and 5 minutes. The trip overall, was good on all fronts: successful fishing, beautiful weather, and just being back in the wilderness. I thought of this trip as a scouting trip, as my 4 year old is going to want to join me on a trip very soon. This obviously wasn't a huge trip into the BWCA, but every minute of it felt like the Boundary Waters. We did see other canoes every day, but that is to be expected on an entry lake. Can't wait to get back up here in September. Thanks for reading!
