Conclusion Paddleplanner shows our route as a total distance of 34.7 miles of which 19.1 was canoeing and 15.6 total portaging (double portages). I’m not much into the numbers. I plan the route and estimate a stopping point each day. Usually try to finish around 3:00 each day so we can find a camp site and relax before dinner. But it’s nice to see what our trip included. My normal trips to the BWCA, I’m usually excited with planning the route, reviewing the packing lists, updating the other members, etc.. This trip I couldn’t get excited. I wasn’t even going to go there in 2022. I have two daughters getting married and I wasn’t taking the time to get in better shape. When the normal conflicts and people dropped out of the trip. My feeling was to just cancel this year. I’m really glad we didn’t. The trip was a challenge but as always it recharged me, able to face another year in my work and personal life. I showed my pictures to my youngest granddaughter Dorothy and she wants to go to the BWCA with me some year. My goal is to get the next generation excited about the wilderness.
