A little side trip from the BWCA.  My wife and I spent a week with my parents up in Valdez, Alaska.  We did a little flying, snowshoeing, and checked out some of the boats down in the small boat harbor.  It was a nice time visiting family.  We are still waiting for the lakes in Northern Minnesota to thaw out.
