Day 1, Friday July 22....Ely Minnesota


Friday July 22, 2005

Well we're back home after a week in the BWCA. There's so much to tell that I'll take it one day at a time.

On Friday July 22nd Dave and Ellie Boeckermann, Mark and Nate Hegstrom, Makita St. Cox and myself left Deerwood around noon and drove to Ely to acquire our permit. We went to the Wolf Center, watched the required movie and left there with our permit in hand. The permits go very quickly for this entry point. We were lucky enough to get one because we applied for it last winter.

After we left the Wolf Center we went on a special visit to the Dorothy Molter Museum. Here is a photo of me by one of the signs there on site. Stay tuned for much more information about Dorothy.

That night we stayed at the Fall Lake Campground. It was brand new and a very nice place. It had running water and warm showers. It would be our last shower for a week. We ate steaks and salads and sat around the fire. It would be our last fresh meal for a week. Everything would be freeze dried from here on out.
