Countdown....BWCA

On June 10th, a ragtag group of men will embark on a 5-day trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA). These people include a university professor (me), an information technology executive (KO), an executive director/artist of a homeless arts program (Hapa9), a writer and creative writing professor (EBok), a banker/artist (SV), an actor (K-Matt), and a bike mechanic/writer/realtor (CC). Only three of us (including me) have gone to the BWCA before and, I believe, two are new to the whole concept of wilderness. It will be a test of man vs wild to determine who among us is and is not a survivalist.

We will make camp on Tuesday near the BWCA and will enter on Wednesday morning at Lizz Lake (entry point 47) near the Gunflint Trail via Poplar Lake. We hope to return on Sunday evening, fittingly Father's Day.
