| Never before on a Boundary Waters trip has the weather been better. One hour of rain in a 9 day period! The first half was hot and included lots of swimming. The second half was cooler and involved lots of portaging. The journey started at the Sawbill Lake entry point. With the relaxed pace we set for ourselves, it took 4 days to reach the northern-most point of our loop; North Temperance Lake. We then slowly made our way down the Temperance River flowage and west across the "fire" lakes back to Sawbill Lake. Great weather, decent fishing, and an up-close wildlife encounter made this a very memorable trip! |
| The Loons filled the air with their calls everywhere we camped this year. We watched as different groups of loons would meet and swim circles around each other as if to say hello. |
