BWCA 2006

Sarah went on her first canoe trip this summer with Kent and I. We left July 27 and returned on July 30, and spent our entire time on Lake Saganaga due to the forest fire some miles to the south and west. Typically we would paddle from lake to lake, starting at Seagull Lake, but the fire remained enough of a threat that I did not want to canoe in its direction, so we headed away from it. Because we start on the eastern side of the BWCA to begin with, this didn't allow us to go eastward any farther without going into Canada. (which we still did, but only a few yards and very unofficially!)
