It has been over 10 years since I have been to the boundry waters, and every year I think about it. My parents have a cabin just north of Virginia, MN that we frequent now. Hoping to get back there soon.

Your future son-in-laws should worship you as a god for raising your daughters this way. awesome family pics. I especially like the "thumbs up" pics. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/101_3786.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/565001-R1-06-7.jpg

We pack out more than we carry in as far as litter goes, we always do. Seems some folks are simply clueless with candy wrappers & misc junk. Something clever here.

Agreed, I've had that total lack of human descency cost me (and everyone else) access to some of the best salmon fishing in Wisconsin. The slobs would leave beer bottles, empty wrappers, and just plain junk on the banks of a bend in the Kewaunee River. Predictably, the area is now closed to foot travel. Hope you, and yours have good weather, and great times.

I used to canoe in Northern NY State every Summer... IIRC black fly season didn't end until sometime in July... mosquitoes can be really annoying.... Black flies are like winged demons.... They kept me pinned down inside the tent one night while the brook trout were just frothing the surface of the beaver pond I was camped by... I'd dash out and make a few casts but couldn't set a hook because I was too distracted by being eaten alive... Swore I'd never go back during black fly season without a full bee keeper suit and preferably a flame thrower... Hope you and yours have a great trip this year. Please don't feed the trolls!

We usually bring skeeter nets for out heads but that's about it. ISSUE boonie hats (the GREEN or woodland cammy ones) come with a headnet. That is part of why the boonies were so popular. Light long sleeved shirts and some good old Old Time Woodsman, the outdoorsmans cologne work pretty good all around.
