On a beautiful early April day with the ice freshly melted from the lakes Erin and I head into the BWCAW. Our destination for this trip is the easily accessible Little Bass Lake just one portage away from North Hegman Lake. The Sun shining through the trees made for a serene portage through the woods.
Our loop out of the Little Indian Sioux entry point is coming to an end. After a heavy rain throughout the night we woke to sunny skies and calm waters. Looking at the maps we find a day filled with portaging ahead of us. With over 800 rods of portaging we knew our shoulders would [...]
After a beautiful night camped out on Steep Lake we awake to sunny skies and a light breeze. Continuing our loop out of the Little Indian Sioux River we head North East working our way through Little Bear Track Lake, Bear Track Lake, and into Thumb Lake. Along the way we bump into a snake, [...]
We continue our journey north out of Little Loon Lake with the clouds flying by overhead. The warmth of the sun soaks into our bodies as we paddle across open waters. The portages have been both adventurous and serene. We are nearing the end of a full day of paddling and portaging and our bodies [...]
On a stormy morning we paddle West out of Mountain lake to a steep portage heading south. We encounter some heavy rain and lightening as thunder rolls across the the lakes. We hunker down at a campsite waiting for the storm to subside and then continue on our way to Pine Lake. Just North of [...]

Jim and I begin our trip along the Border Route much like we had the year before. Traveling along the Royal River you are surrounded by cliffs and [...]

The sun is shining on a hot day in August. The wind gently cools us off as we paddle north on the Stewart River. The Stewart River is a winding river littered with dinner plate sized lilly pads and portages thick with foliage. We make our way on through Stewart Lake and into Boulder Bay. [...]
