Nina Moose River - The Show

Bill — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 18:00:54 +0000

Our second camping trip of the summer was off to a great start. The sun was shining through the trees as Matt, Erin, Jim, and I headed down the portage from the Moose River entry point. The word on the river was that a moose had been spotted not too far from where you put in your canoe.

We weren’t lucky enough to see it, but had high hopes for the rest of the trip. This is the first episode of our trip out to Lac LaCroix. You’ll see how beautiful the Nina Moose River is with a variety of scenery on the sides of the river.

BWCA Ranger - The Show

Bill — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 18:00:58 +0000

While paddling from boulder bay in Lac LaCroix, we came across a ranger station nestled in the woods at the edge of the lake. Tim a Wilderness Ranger who is based out of the LaCroix ranger station in Cook, MN was out working around the building and asked to see our permit..

After showing him our documentation I asked if we could get an interview. Tim was gracious enough to oblige and gave us the skinny on what goes on behind the scenes to keep camp sites and portages up and running as well as enforcing the rules and regulations that keep the BWCAW a quite place in nature we can all escape to.

Devils Cascade - The Show

Bill — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 18:42:39 +0000

Jesse Glass helps me on this beautiful day trip out to the Devils Cascade. The sun was shining and with a little head wind we headed up the Little Indian Sioux River. On the river we saw a couple deer standing in water along the shoreline.

We paddled against a pretty steady head wind on Upper Pauness before taking the short portage into Lower Pauness. It was a quick paddle across Lower Pauness to the Portage into the Loon River. At the portage is where you’ll find the Devils Cascase.

The water was rushing through the narrow canyon, spilling over rocks with a high cliff face on the far side of the river.

Finishing the Mudro Trip - The Show

Bill — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 18:00:21 +0000

Our camping trip had to come to a close. We started out in Mudro Lake and had a great time on Lower Basswood River and Crooked Lake. This episode has us portaging out of the bottom of Friday Bay in Crooked Lake and going through a number of lakes including Boot, Fairy, 4 Town, and back into Mudro to finish the trip.

Along the way we had a number of portages, one as long as 300 rods. It was a doozie leaving us with tired shoulders and a few mosquito bites. We had hoped to camp right after that portage, but all of the camp sites on Gun Lake were full. So we ended up camping on Fairy lake. That evening we caught a beaver on the shore chowing down on some tree branches and a turtle at the edge of the water.

We continued the next day through 4 Town Lake where we saw an immature eagle eating some fish. Our trip finally came to an end back in Mudro. It was a great trip and we hope you enjoyed experiencing it with us through the video.

Leaving Crooked Lake - The Show

Bill — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 05:49:04 +0000

Our last day on Crooked Lake was a great one. We had beautiful weather and a nice little current helping us along our way. We were lucky enough to watch some mergansers take off and a couple loons doing what they do best… Fishing…

As far as fishing goes…. Jim was able to pull in a nice sized northern pike. He not only shows off his stellar fishing abilities but also takes the time to give us a step by step on how to remove the “Y” bones out of the the northern and cook up a tasty meal.

We had a great time paddling through crooked lake. If you get the chance we really recommend taking the time to get out there. As Jim said there are some pretty big fish swimming around in there. If your into fishing for fun or for dinner its a great place to drop a line in the water.
