2024 Boundary Waters Canoe Area Trip

The trip to BWCA was interesting to say the least. The weather was wet, windy, and cool. Due to the earlier than normal spring, the bugs were out in full force. The wind was very strong going on to the lake. One of the canoes took on water and capsized. Fortunately, two of the other canoes were able to drag the capsized crew to a rock outcropping. Another canoe from the group took the cold wet canoeists to a nearby island where a camping couple had a warm fire, hot fluids and dry clothes. Teamwork, determination, and the kindness of strangers turned a potential disaster into a successful trip. Unfortunately, one of the heroes passed away unexpectedly 6 days after the trip.

Even bad trips have good memories glad one of your gang had one more trip of a life time before his passing. Sorry for your loss BF
