In life, people tend to get consumed by the concept of how something can be done, without giving thought as to why something should be done. When the Paddle and Portage Podcast first heard about the Boundary Waters paddle known as the Ely Challenge, we were guilty of this notion. We became fixated on the how. The idea for the Ely Challenge is simple: Paddle across Saganaga Lake at the end of th...

Rain. It’s marked the start to the paddling season this year across the Boundary Waters. There was so much rain, in fact, that many portages and waterways across the BWCA flooded in late June. Roads near the Boundary Waters, from the Echo Trail to Highway 61, also flooded and were damaged by the heavy rain. In one area of the BWCA, a community formed at the Mudro Entry Point. A tent village, as...

Thanks guys. Dan was an exceptional person.
Beautiful place, used to do trips that went thru that area. Never saw water that high though.
Amazing that this is three days after the storm. Well done by these canoe travelers to deal with what whatever was thrown their way!
This is just wonderful you two! Love that you're sharing the adventure! What a gorgeous part of the world! Row on!
Just awesome 😎. Stay safe ladies, keep having fun 😊
Proud of you sis xx
The storm wasn't the worst part of it for us it was the exit back up the moose river with all the flood waters. Everything was fine for us till we got up Thursday morning and the water rose 3 foot over night. We knew we had an issue. Packed up and headed out all the protages qhere flooded out so we had to trek through the woods around them to make our exit. Words will never decribe what we experienced to get out of there. It was the thing nightmares where made from. I love the bwca but I don't think I will ever be able to go back to ep16 again
Bought Last Entry Point at Drury & just finished it. Wow, what an ending. It was an engaging blend of Jon Krakauer (Eiger Dreams), Ashley Saupe (Sharp End podcast) & Irv Yalom (Staring at the Sun). Enjoy your work a great deal!
Not safe
What lol
@@BrooksBabbling that waterfall is right next to a portage The moment you get out onto the water next to that fall you have to put every strength you have somebody lost their life because they went over this waterfall
