November 26, 2015 By Dave Freeman

We are listening to @splendidtable on our tiny radio and preparing a Thanksgiving feast on the wood stove in our @seekoutside tipi tent in the heart of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. We are busy rehydrating potatoes, apples, and butternut squash, slicing gouda cheese, soaking wild rice, baking corn bread, and sipping hot apple cider as we cook. Other special treats include @patagoniaprov smoked salmon, cranberries, bison pemmican, and stuffing.
We have been in the Wilderness 65 days and have been looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving in the Wilderness for a long time. We will spend another 300 days in the Wilderness to support @savetheBWCA and their effort to protect the nation’s most popular Wilderness Area, and teach elementary and middle school students about wild places through @wildernessclass. Holidays are special days we look forward to celebrating.
We are totally alone, 20 miles from the nearest road. Many of the lakes are too frozen paddle on, but not frozen enough to walk across. We are possibly physically more isolated than we will be at any other time during our year in the Wilderness. We are happy, healthy, and thankful for this wild place that we are surrounded by. We hope that everyone finds a hearty meal, a safe place to sleep, and fellowship today. #wildernessyear #BWCA #BoundaryWaters #Thanksgiving #TurkeyConfidential #food #thankful #savetheBWCA
