well it's over already!!!..the AM the trip was to start i was at a drive in camp ready to head out.that night a storm broke and went on all night and it was still pouring when i got up.
i said no way..the storms on last two trips left me wind bound for days and i did not want to start this one in a rain suit hunkering down and just paddling down river for hours to make a wet camp.i'm retired and the trip to the BWCA only takes a few hours.i'll get another permit and head out later on.the bags will stay packed.
discretion is the better part of valor
