We have settled into our new campsite and spent several hours this morning gathering and processing firewood. Tomorrow’s forecast calls for a high of around 10 degrees and a modest breeze. We are hoping the wind dies so that the remaining open water will freeze quickly.

The snowy landscape is beautiful and other than the churning waves 1/2 mile down the lake from our campsite, it really feels like winter. We are hoping the thin slush layer that covers the lake freezes up overnight so we can head out and explore our surroundings tomorrow.

Yesterda,y two folks from Ely came out in a boat from Moose Lake with over a week’s worth of supplies and a ton of treats, including lots of fresh veggies. We gorged on fresh salads and @patagoniaprov Sampa Soup with fresh peppers, brussel sprouts, and broccoli for lunch.

I don’t think fresh fruits and vegetables have ever tasted so good.
The Boundary Waters is an international treasure, which we must protect. Follow @savetheBWCA, sign the petition at http://ift.tt/1x2erSX, and help protect the Boundary Waters from a series of proposed sulfide-ore copper mines.
