BWCA 2018 Part 7

Posted on August 18, 2018September 12, 2018 by mirth in Trip Reports

Saturday, August 18 Another mostly cloudy morning to start our last day. We're not too far from the public access so there's no rush in trying to pack up camp. After I've been up for a while and have had some coffee, I pack up the tarp and hammock before rousing the kids. We're having … Continue reading BWCA 2018 Part 7 →

BWCA 2018 Part 6

Posted on August 17, 2018September 12, 2018 by mirth in Trip Reports

Friday, August 17 Evie wakes me up in the middle of the night, wanting an escort on the latrine trail. Canoe country can be spooky at night, especially when the moon's but a sliver that sets shortly after the sun does. We make the short hike and right away I'm super cold, like teeth chattering … Continue reading BWCA 2018 Part 6 →

BWCA 2018 Part 5

I heat the rest of the coffee again and then once I've got a cuppa then I turn my attention to heating water for a Mountain House Breakfast Skillet and if … Continue reading BWCA 2018 Part 5 →

BWCA 2018 Part 4

Wednesday August 15 I'm up and out of the tent about 6:30. It's funny, back home lately I've been struggling to get up before 7 but in canoe country I find myself waking with the sun. It takes a few nights before I really settle in and get comfortable sleeping, and last night was still … Continue reading BWCA 2018 Part 4 →

BWCA 2018 Part 3

Posted on August 14, 2018September 12, 2018 by mirth in Trip Reports

Tuesday August 14, 2018 I wake up early today because I want to capture a  time lapse of the sunrise. The alarm goes off at 5:30 and miraculously I wake up on time and jump out of the tent. The rocky point looks to be perfect for capturing both the sunrise and last night we … Continue reading BWCA 2018 Part 3 →
