You got a long way to go yet. 31 for me.

Your comment does not help:)

I have never been a "count down" type of guy. I have a lot to keep me busy and consider a "countdown" an open invitation to in effect skip to the time I would be waiting for. I would never trade/give away the between time to arrive at the actual dated desired. Probably many who do the "countdown" feel the same, but I know some would trade/give away the between now and then time just to get there sooner. Would you?

The anticipation is a key part of the adventure. I'm blessed to have a few turkey hunts, opening weekend of trout season and putting up a few more tree stands for deer hunting to keep me busy and occupied before heading to the BW. But the countdown definitely has begun and it's enjoyable.

Anticipation is a good description. That is what I feel.

I try not to think of my first soft-water trip of the season until just a day or so before I start getting my gear ready. Of course, I start getting my gear ready sometime around mid-February. I'm just guessing here, but I probably have about 38 days until I go in, give or take an hour or two :)

58 days for me

29...

135 from today. I will be out in the ADK a few times between now and then, I live in NYS.

51 days from today. But I don't start counting until it gets under 50......

I have to wait until August 8th! But I'm going to "practice" by solo car-camping on 120 acres of private property pretty deep in the Governor Knowles State Forest on the St. Croix River near Grantsburg, Wisconsin. It'll be nine days in my tent.

I am heading in in 2 days. Pre permit trip for me.

Times up for you! Enjoy!

I will, thanks. My senses are also yearning for the North woods.

I went into Fourtown yesterday. Beautiful morning on the water. Eerily quiet. Enjoy your trip wherever you go.

I'm envious :)
