You have had your share of excitement this year with the fire. We were amazed how green everything was and how the flowers are blooming like crazy in one last-ditch effort to set seed. Thank you for the congrats. I never guessed five years ago that one trip would make me a BWCAW addict. And we were happy to be snowed on to add that to our experiences. Luckily it was not the staying kind which would have been REALLY interesting. Keep us posted on what's happening in the Northland!

Keep us posted on what’s happening in the Northland!

This month has been one of the most wild I've seen for weather in my 21 Septembers up here. I saw that snow, too, a couple of weeks ago. Good for you and your sister for persevering even through weather and equipment challenges. I look forward to reading more about your adventure and seeing the pictures, too.

No matter what physical travails may occur, the overwhelming presence of elemental Nature makes every trip a delight and makes me count the days until we can go out again. Please do share with us your outdoor adventures (and the art they inspire!). Warm regards, V. Jennifer - It is addictive, isn’t it?

I love the art (visual and textual) you create from your junctures of nature and woman, of rain and sun, of water and rock. I feel jealous--even of the winds and broken zippers-- AND eager (inspired!) to go off on my own outdoor adventures once more. It's been too many years. Thank you for that. jb What an inspiring post–and journey. I love the art (visual and textual) you create from your junctures of nature and woman, of rain and sun, of water and rock.

Thank you for that.

But, hey, would it be the BWCAW if there wasn't a challenge of some sort? More photos coming up this week! Thanks for stopping by, V.
