We stopped for lunch in the middle of Hoist Bay on Basswood Lake. There was no wind and it was warm, so there was no need to look for a sheltered spot. The dogs always provide plenty of amusement. Acorn and Tina start to groom themselves as soon as we stop for lunch. Tank just stands around seeming to wonder why we aren’t going, occasionally barking and lunging in his harness. Grooming doesn’t seem to be part of his routine, except when Acorn or Tina get overzealous with their grooming and start licking his legs and paws. It sounds strange, but they actually groom him from time to time.
The dogs are like people; they have their own personalities. It has been fun getting to know Tina, Acorn, and Tank. Before we know it spring will arrive, the ice will begin to melt, and it will be time to say goodbye to our new friends and switch back to traveling by canoe. Luckily March often affords some of the best traveling conditions, so we still have plenty of adventurous miles ahead of us with our four-legged friends.
I was struck by the silence today as we skied along. There was no wind and the low clouds seemed to muffle the air, leaving the Wilderness totally silent. Please remember why we are out here. This place is just too precious to risk. Please join the movement and take action today. Visit @savetheBWCA to learn more, sign the petition, and get involved.
Today is the 155 day of our #wildernessyear to #savetheBWCA. Please share our journey with your friends. Use our adventure to start conversations and educate others abut the proposed sulfide-ore copper mines that threaten our nation’s most popular Wilderness.
