Trip Introduction:
I had been hoping to get to Canada twice this year - once solo. With both of those upended, I found a gap in the calendar for a solo adventure (me & the dog, who to protect her anonymity we will call Cerberus) to the BWCA in late August. Of course, with the crowds this year permit availability was the issue - thus…Angleworm. I now understand said availability - over 2 miles, 3,591 meters from parking lot to lake.
The plan was to go light and perhaps get all the way up to Iron & Crooked - I had 6 days.
