Our Voyageur crew member Andrew went out paddling and camping in the Boundary Waters this past weekend. On Saturday morning he woke up to a blanket of snow covering his campsite and canoe. It takes a hearty soul to canoe camp in the BWCA at the end of October and that's what Andrew is.
We don't recommend just anyone goes out into the canoe country wilderness in the fall. It's best to have previous experience, common sense and a bit of caution when the weather turns cold. Cold water temperature combined with cold air temperatures can make hypothermia a real possibility in the event of capsizing.
With five years of experience at Voyageur Canoe Outfitters and multiple trips into the wilderness Andrew had a great weekend in the Boundary Waters. I'm taking bets on whether or not we'll see Andrew one more time before the lakes turn solid. We know we'll see him when winter comes to the BWCA.
