At the start, we got up from our beds in Omaha, NE, around 5 a.m. to pack, etc., and to get a move on with our trip. We had an 11-hour drive, including stops, including the stop at Cabelas. As we arrived in Tofte, we grabbed some gas and food, then departed to Sawbill Outfitters for our first night in the BWCA but still in society. Once we got there we paid for our campsite and set up camp. Once camp was set up, we took a walk to let our legs free up from the drive. As we were on our walk we heard some commotion and it turned out to be a black bear, when we arrived, the trash bin was tipped over, and those things were very rigged so the bear couldn't get into them.

For dinner that night we had some chips and crackers with poptarts. After dinner, we explored the Sawbill Lake to take some beautiful sunset pictures. After we took some photos of the sunset, we went to the outfiters to gaze at the items that I didn't have money for. There was also free wifi there which was nice so we could say our final goodbyes to society.
