I looked up from stuffing my sleeping bag and noticed a red glow through the wall of the tent. We dropped what we were doing and hurried outside. The sun’s first rays cast a golden glow over our camp. We busied ourselves with outside chores so that we could enjoy the sunrise as we readied the toboggans and prepared to move.
The sunrise signaled the start of another picture perfect day in the Wilderness. We traveled silently across 3 lakes this afternoon without seeing any signs of human activity. We are most likely the first people to travel through this area in several months. The travel conditions remain nearly perfect. These are probably some of the nicest mid-winter conditions we have ever experienced. Not too hot, not too cold, just the right amount of snow, and not much slush.
I couldn’t stop marveling at how beautiful the Wilderness was today as we traveled. The trees, coated in white, were accented by an unusual diffused light that made it feel like the sun was setting all day long. The edge of our nation’ s most popular Wilderness isn’t an appropriate place to build a giant copper mine. This place is just too precious to risk.
