We had two sponsors that helped make this trip possible.  The first was Piragis North Woods Company.  They are an outfitter for both summer and winter trips.  They provided us with a SnowTrecker Tent and a wood stove for keeping our tent nice and warm.  They offer guided winter and summer trips along with all of the gear and supplies you may need.  They are very down to earth people who are excited out spending time in the wilderness.  If your looking for someone to get you started on your first trip into the BWCAW or your 100th Piragis will help make it a fun successful adventure.

The second sponsor was Black River Sleds.  They are the creator of the Snow Walker Toboggan.  We recently did a HowTo episode on putting together one of Black River Sleds toboggan kits, and it was this sled that we used on our winter camping trip.  These toboggans are durable and designed for one purpose… Getting your gear into the back country.  If you are looking for a great toboggan for your next winter camping trip checkout Black River Sleds, they will set you up with the perfect solution.

To add some excitement to the trip I break a paddle on a rock attempting to paddle up a small rapids.  No worries though, with a little duct tape we were back paddling in no time.  The evening ends with some loons and a bobber floating just off of camp.

So we headed back out into the lake looking for walleye or northern pike.  Both Jim and Mat caught very nice Northerns, while I let a huge walleye jump back into the lake while trying to net it. :(   Let me tell you its not fun to relive the moment by watching it on video.  After we cooked up one of the pike for dinner we came across a beaver munching on a poplar.  It was amazing how close we were able to get, and we lucked out with some fantastic video.

We paddled across calm waters and basked in the warm sun.  When we finally made it to Curtain Falls it was amazing.  The water was raging out of Crooked lake over the top of the falls pounding its way down into Iron Lake.  Mat and Jim did a little fishing in the fast water below the falls while Erin and I did a little swimming at the top of the falls.  It felt so nice to cool off on such a hot day.  We found a nice little pool on the edge of the falls that had water boiling into it without the danger of being swept over.  If you sit in one side it feels like you are sitting in a jacuzzi tub.  If you ever get the chance to stop by Curtain Falls you won’t be disappointed.
