BWCA in T-Minus 1 Month!

It is hard to believe but my time here in Baltimore is already coming to close and in just one short Month I will be leaving this city (and civilization in general) to spend nearly four months in the Wilderness of the BWCA in Northern Minnesota.

A typical BWCA lake

I have been to the BWCA several times in the past on Church and Family Canoe Trips as well as biking the 70 mile long Echo Trail with my Father last summer on a 350 mile long Father-Son Bike Tour through Northern Minnesota. Needless to say between time spend at my Family's cabin near Grand Rapids and time spent in Duluth and the North Shore I am quite familiar with Northern Minnesota and the lifestyle it entails, but this summer I am going to get even more acquainted with it!

Tuscarora Lodge and Outfitters near the end of the Gunflint Trail and close to the Canadian Border

From May through August this summer I will be working at Tuscarora Lodge and Outfitters (website & blog) on the Gunflint Trail! This place is literally almost at the end of the trail and miles and miles from modern civilization. While I will be busy helping outfit people for their canoe trips, I have no doubt that I will find plenty of time to do some of my own exploring in the BWCA as well (which will of course be documented here)!
