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.

why put it away? there is still plenty of snow up north for camping, skiing, and sledding!

I just went skiing with Banksiana and Piwi in the BWCA today. That snow is going to be there a while yet . . .

"Best" time to go really...

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.

Franz -- I know how you feel. Traffic on the "Winter Camping" board starts to die off at this time of year also.

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.

Yep, I am hoping to get one more trip in before canoeing.

Going up this weekend! But I'm afraid this will be my one and only real winter camping trip of the year:( Got a couple rookies coming with me so it should be interesting at least!

I'm heading up this weekend for one last trip also. suppose to be cooler out so should be a great trip.

race ya Craig! Where you headed? We're planning to go into Daniels off the Gunflint.

Heading in through Ely. I think we are going to try to meet up with Matt. Hopefully hook into some trout.

tg...check out the campsite directly across the lake from the Border Route Trail access. We were there 7-10 Mar. Cleared a spot and even left you some wood!

Well-we really enjoyed the campsite motdur! I can't imagine how many hours you spent shoveling unless some of it was already done. There were a couple small dugout areas at the bases of the snowbanks-too small for a human-did you guys have a dog or two along on your trip?

cheers-
Rich

Hey tg

Glad it worked out for you. 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.
