Day 131: Visitors Galore

Our camp is quiet. The dogs are resting in the warm, still, sunny air. The only sounds are the crackle of the wood stove and the occasional raven’s call. We have had the pleasure of visiting with 5 groups over the last 4 days. A few of the visitors were old friends and many were new ones. It was so fun to see people of all ages out enjoying the winter woods, including folks from as far away as New Zealand and Great Britain.
Levi, our expedition manager who also runs Sustainable Ely, helped organize most of the resupply parties and coordinated things so that the groups were staggered.
Along with our normal supplies, they brought a host of other goodies, including two miniature apple pies that Barb Dunsmore baked for us! We enjoy being out here alone, but visitors always lift our spirits and leave us feeling refreshed, with a renewed sense of purpose. There are so many people working to protect this national treasure.
To all of the Wilderness defenders out there working to protect the Boundary Waters, thank you for taking action and for those of you that are just now learning about the threats that Twin Metals and other proposed sulfide-ore copper mines bring to the region please visit @savetheBWCA, to learn more, sign the petition, donate, and take action!
