At 8AM today-Be advised, Quetico is currently in a Restricted Fire Zone due to high forest fire danger.
Please do not have campfires (even in a fire pit with a grate) or use charcoal BBQs at this time. Please use portable liquid or gas stoves instead when cooking.

Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool. Seagull Outfitters also called to alert me on the same day — they’re my tow on Sunday. Pretty happy to have been able to have had an early alert.

I received a call from Seagull Outfitters also. I'm going out Sunday morning. I always cook with burners but appreciate the call.

Quetico office called me today to advise me of the current fire ban and to bring more fuel if we had planned on using a campfire to cook. They said there are currently 8 fires in the park.

Yep, Voyageur North outfitters emailed me that it should be in place for a good while. Good to know so I can pack more fuel and leave the wood splitter (hatchet) home.

Very true. I haven't had any measurable rain at my house north of Two Harbors since 8 August. The woods and soil are DRY. The half inch of rain predicted over the weekend won't do anything to reduce the fire risk in canoe country.
