Great trip! I've been to the same spot and come from the same place, so I feel a kinship with your group. By "second campsite" on Clearwater, do you mean the second one on the lake as you are coming from the portage to Turtle? I love that campsite! Welcome to the site...I hope you stick around; there's always room for more female Madisonians on this board! ;-)

Welcome to the site Vaniarose and thanks for the report. That's a "bevy of beauties" in the group picture. You should all be proud of your successful adventure.

With a title like "Estro Fest" how can a guy pass this read up?!


What a fun group and report. I enjoyed your reference to getting away from texting and facebook.


Great job, thanks.

We all have to believe in something. I believe I'll go paddle.

Yes, it was the second site from the portage from Turtle Lake along the north shore. It was beautiful site with nice views and swimming area.


Even though the Estro Fest trip report was my first post, I've been lurking on this site for a couple years. I'm sure I'll be sticking around. :) I've learned so many great tips and always enjoy the interesting stories.

Peace

Thank You for posting such a great Trip Report. I am glad all went well. It sounds like everyone got along great together.
I know someone that "goes all first aid" over every little cut too.
I like the above photograph. The composition is outstanding.

Nice trip report and thanks for sharing. Always good to hear about girls and gals paddling in the BWCA.

The trip was called this by our husbands and fathers who stayed behind, jealous of our adventure.

A fun read, and congrats. I've been thru that whole route several times, and it isn't easy. You gals would embarass some all-men groups I have met. A very pretty area. Great campsite on Clearwater. I had a group of 8th and 9th grade boys and girls on that site in 1978, at about the same time of the month. We had a fabulous Northern Lights show.
