Burt and I spent the week of Labor Day in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, canoeing and camping; the last time we were there was the fall of 2004. We had a little bit of rain, but otherwise the weather was great. It felt good to be in the wilderness for several days, disconnected from everything that was normally happening in our lives. At the end of the trip we swore we’d not wait another 10 years to return.
