With 3 guys, large scoop shovels...it really didn't take that long. And no...it was completely buried! The snow was very light and dry. As for the little cubbies...one was for our food container and the other was for our beverages at night.

Minnesotian	03/18/2014 07:22PM Yep, I am hoping to get one more trip in before canoeing.
awbrown	03/18/2014 06:14PM I love winter camping, but I'm ready for the change of seasons, cause I love spring camping, too. Then there's summer camping, followed by fall camping.
OBX2Kayak	03/18/2014 01:09PM Franz -- I know how you feel. Traffic on the "Winter Camping" board starts to die off at this time of year also.
DanCooke	03/18/2014 12:05PM I know what you mean Franzenrp. Maybe one more than I will pack it away. Maybe try for an April snow adventure. tough times as it is typically hard to stay dry. But then after that I am Looking forward to open water season.

Ho Ho	03/17/2014 09:38PM I just went skiing with Banksiana and Piwi in the BWCA today. That snow is going to be there a while yet . . .

Franzenrp	03/17/2014 07:32PM Today I had to hang up our toboggans for the season, and store away all the winter gear until next winter. What a glorious time was had in the BWCA this winter the snow was deep and plentiful and the slush was very manageable. Took four weeklong trips and the weather was always great. Time to rest I suppose until the spring thaw and dust off the canoe gear and prep for ice out and a canoe trip.
