Winter Camping Hoist Bay

Posted on 05 May 2009 by Bill

We woke on our second day of winter camping to sunny skies and warm weather.  It was a great day to be out exploring around Hoist Bay on Basswood Lake.  We set off in search of firewood and a little exercise.  Along the way we encountered dog teams out on a run and talk about how this bay was used back in the logging days.

Snowshoeing into Hegman – The Show

Posted on 24 February 2009 by Bill

With the temperatures hovering just above zero we drove out to the Hegman Lake entry point.  With our snowshoes and packs on we headed down the trail.  The sun was shining down through the trees, and when we dropped onto the lake it was just georgeous out.   We encountered a little slush below the top layer of snow on the lake, but we made great time on our way out to the pictographs.  We hope you enjoy our first winter episode.
