Let me start by saying it's about as windy as I've seen it. That being said, somehow Ellie and Dave made it out to Trout Lake in the BWCA this morning. I received a call from Ellie before 8 this morning saying they were having trouble getting their permit. Evidently the place (Fortune Bay Casino) where we've picked up our permits for years, doesn't issue permits until June 1st now. So they drove to Cook to the Ranger station and were able to get it. Then she called about 10:30 am with a garbled message. All I got out of it was "channel" and "life jackets". This I interpreted as they had made it to the channel between Trout and Little Trout (where we usually stay) and that she recommended wearing a life jacket in the 30 mile an hour winds. We'll be going up Friday to meet them. I hope they stay hunkered down now until the winds subside.
Above is a photo of the channel.
