Early Season Solo in the Boundary Waters Wilderness

Описание: Early to mid-May trips are one of my favorite times to visit the BWCA. The ice has just gone out, the bugs are nearly nonexistent, and lake trout fishing is excellent. This year's warm weather didn't disappoint! Come along with me on a solo trip through Entry Point 38 as I film campsites and portages on and around Sawbill, Smoke, Burnt, and Flame lakes and enjoy the solitude of the Boundary Waters in spring.
