The ice-covered lakes made for fast travel today. We worked our way across Moose, Newfound, Splash, Ensign, Vera, and Portage Lakes on our wait to Knife Lake. We are camped on a campsite where we spent two weeks during freeze up. It was fun to think back about all the howling wolves, singing ice, spawning cisco, and memorable moments that happened as we slowly traveled from Knife to Moose during freeze up.
Slowly we are coming to grips with the fact that winter may be coming to a close. We traveled over 20 miles today. We look forward to a few more long days of travel while the conditions are good.
Every day we spend in the Wilderness helps us understand and appreciate this maze of lakes and rivers more. Sulfide mining is not worth the risk and harm it poses to the natural beauty and quiet wilderness. We cannot put a price on the clean water or the place where we swim, fish and spend time with our family. We have a responsibility to protect the water and natural beauty of the Boundary Waters Wilderness.
