October 24, 2015 By Dave Freeman

Yesterday morning we said goodbye to our new friends from Patagonia. Four employees from the Patagonia stores in Saint Paul and Chicago paddled in to resupply us with much needed provisions. We camped together on Horse Lake and enjoyed swapping stories and laughter with them. Thursday was a picture perfect fall day, but yesterday was cold, windy, and rainy so they were able to experience the Wilderness in several moods. It was already drizzling when we woke up, so everyone gathered in our tent for coffee and oatmeal. Gathered around the woodstove we were warm and dry. Food, good company, and a warm dry place out of the rain, what more do you need? Before we knew it 10:30 rolled around and we were still laughing and visiting. It was fun to have house guests.

Patagonia has been an amazing partner for both Paddle to DC, and now A Year in the Wilderness. We are so grateful for all of the support they have given @savetheBWCA and are stoked they keep finding new and exciting ways to support our efforts to #savetheBWCA. Employees from the Chicago and St. Paul stores are assisting with several resupplies as part of their environmental internship program. We look forward to another @patagonia resupply in the spring! The @PatagoniaProvisions Tsampa Soup and wild salmon with couscous that Christy made for dinner was to die for. She set the bar high for the next resupply team.

Ely Outfitting Company loaned them a canoe, several local families put them up for the night before they entered the Wilderness, and our expedition manager, Levi, helped arrange all the details and paddled in with them. A Year in the Wilderness is really a group effort, something much larger than Amy and I. These resupplies are a wonderful reminder of the growing community of individuals, groups, and businesses that are all working together to protect the Boundary Waters Watershed from sulfide-ore mining and make A Year in the Wilderness possible.
