I’ve only been on proper multi-day overnight paddles twice, but they were a couple of the most memorable trips we’ve ever taken. If you can’t get out into the BWCA at least stay at a cabin at the end of the Gunflint.

I’ve been really lucky in that I got to take two 10 day trips. And, got to shoot and learn a lot about the people who have been key in its establishment and the long, never ending efforts to turn it into a bonanza for resource extraction. Everyone who visits is part of the preservation of it.

Hopefully someday we’ll do something that long! We’ve done two 4 day loops thus far. 6 years apart with tiny kids the first time that are now 7 and 12 (plus their uncles). That somewhat limited us, but it’s been amazing to see even the 12 year old have a blast.

I can’t imagine taking tots. I bet they loved it. What a great way to build memories.
