Our campsite looked like a garage sale today with almost every item of clothing we have hung over the long guy lines of our Cooke Custom Sewing Lean 2. Tank spent most of the day napping in the sun, moving every few hours as the sun moved across the sky to a prime sunny spot. After many days of cloudy, rainy weather our batteries were literally and figuratively depleted.
We spent the day writing, capturing photos and videos, answering emails, charging batteries, baking a cake, fixing gear, and taking care of a variety of tasks that had been shoved into the recesses of our packs or our minds. The whole time we enjoyed the white, billowing clouds and glorious warm rays of sunshine.
We don’t have weekends or holidays out here so sometimes we just have to take a day to putter around and tie up all the loose ends. Today turned out to be one of those days.
Rain or sun, sleet or hail, wind or calm, we are out here for a year to bear witness to this quite place and inspire citizen from near and far to protect this national treasure that belongs to all of us and now needs our help. Twin Metals and a series of other sulfide-ore copper mines are being proposed along the southern edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. This type of mining has never been done anywhere in the world without causing water pollution. This pristine maze of lakes and rivers is the lifeblood of our local economy and just too precious to risk.
