The wind blew and light snow fell all day today. We spent almost all day in our tent, sheltered from the storm. We did a lot of writing, reading, and listening to the news on our tiny radio. I found my mind thinking back to a beautiful morning in October when we woke up to a frost-covered landscape. The temperature had dropped into the 20s overnight and the marsh grasses were covered in a thick frost. We paddled down a narrow creek as the sun rose above the trees and began melting the frost. It was like nothing I had ever seen before and the beautiful scene has not repeated itself since that magical morning.
Wilderness is the preservation of the World. – Henry David Thoreau
Well said Henry, we couldn’t agree more. Please join us in supporting @savetheBWCA and their efforts to protect the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness from the threats that proposed sulfide-ore copper mines bring to our nation’s most popular Wilderness.
