Friends,

I enjoy watching both trip reports, which are 99% LNT and great but looking at YouTube vids from 2020 I have seen multiple violations of folks from first time trippers and frequent trippers alike. As has been covered many times in the last year here about a bad 2020 it was a rough year for some sites in the BWCA. I am hoping the USFS has taken notice and is planning maybe more checks for 2021, as from the permit site, there are a good deal of folks coming in. Full permits for EPs are great, as that is regulated, and folks can enjoy this wonderful place, but an increase bad actors are the problem.

I hope to see a better year.
