BWCA BlogBy Jason ZabokrtskyJuly 25, 2011

This is how we managed the scorching heat on trail in the BWCA this week.

As of this morning, the Minnesota government is back up and running. Fishing licenses are for sale again, both online and in person. Perfect time to plan your Boundary Waters vacation and do a little (or a lot!) of fishing!

Another Successful Women’s Guided Canoe Trip in the Boundary Waters

BWCA BlogBy Kate FordJuly 20, 2011

I just finished guiding a great group of three ladies in the Boundary Waters. These women have known each other for years. They were always a little jealous of their husbands’ canoeing trips, and thought this could be their chance. We were out for three days, and enjoyed excellent, sunny weather. We were surprised to…

Blueberries are Ripening in the Boundary Waters

BWCA BlogBy Jason ZabokrtskyJuly 17, 2011

I fixed my first batch of pancakes with fresh blueberries while camped on Crooked Lake in the BWCAW this week.  Delicious taste of the North Woods!

Kids and Watercolor in the Boundary Waters

BWCA BlogBy Jason ZabokrtskyJuly 2, 2011

Josie (age 10, from Wisconsin), painted these pictures while on a BWCA canoe trip this week with her younger brother and parents. Her savvy mom packed along a backpacking style watercolor kit for her kids. Sure enough, they found plenty of subjects to paint.  The above Bald Eagle perched contently at the top of a…

Dragonflies Emerging From Fourtown Lake in the BWCAW

BWCA BlogBy Jason ZabokrtskyJune 29, 2011

One of the great things about late spring and early summer in the Boundary Waters is the overwhelming sign of new life.  It seems everywhere you look there are birds on nests or with young in tow, flowers cover the forest floor, and insects such as these dragonflies are emerging to a new life of…

Turtles are Venturing into BWCA Campsites to Lay Eggs Now

BWCA BlogBy Jason ZabokrtskyJune 25, 2011

We found this snapping turtle in a BWCAW campsite on the Kawishiwi River recently.  The snapping turtles and painted turtles are venturing onto land right now to dig holes and lay their eggs.  We were surprised to see that this turtle had selected the area immediately adjacent to the campfire grate for its place to…

Father and Son Boundary Waters Canoe Trip

BWCA BlogBy Jason ZabokrtskyJune 19, 2011

I spent a week in the BWCAW with Gary and his 18-year-old son, Blake, this month.  As a young Boy Scout in 1970, Gary traveled the Boundary Waters.  His youthful canoe trip experience really left a life-long impression on him.  He wanted his son to have a similar opportunity to explore the wilderness as a…

“Northern Exposure” in Real Life: Moose in Ely

BWCA BlogBy Kate FordJune 3, 2011

Many might remember television’s Northern Exposure, with its wandering moose in the opening credits. Ely has its own moose, seen earlier this week walking the streets of downtown.  The yellowish sign in the background with the arched lettering is Britton’s Cafe on Chapman Street in downtown.  Photo by Amy Kireta.
