May 22, 2016 By Dave Freeman

Our day trip yesterday helped us reach another milestone. On the 242nd day of our #wildernessyear to @savetheBWCA we visited our 250th lake! We are hoping to visit 500 different bodies of water during A Year in the Wilderness and it is exciting to be halfway to our goal. Plus we are two thirds of the way through A Year in the Wilderness, it is amazing how fast time passes. We are out here to bear witness to this national treasure and encourage people to take action and help protect the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness from sulfide-ore copper mines that are being proposed along the edge of the Wilderness. Please sign the petition at http://ift.tt/1x2erSX and help us spread the word about this important issue.

We brought our fishing rods along on our day trip yesterday and fished for the first time this season. Our friend John, Tank, Amy, and I piled into our 19 foot Wenonah Itasca and paddled and portaged across Brule, Juno, Vern, Whack, Homer, the Vern River, and East Pipe to Pipe Lake. John relaxed and fished in one of our @helinox chairs in the center of the canoe as we paddled. It was a beautiful, sunny day and we all had fun catching fish and exploring new lakes.
In the evening we returned to camp and made a feast of fresh walleye, steaks that Amy’s dad brought in, and a homemade batch of macaroni and cheese, topped off with hot cocoa and a few squares of chocolate. After watching a full moon rise over the glassy lake, we crawled into our sleeping bags at dusk.
