Flashback Friday: BWCAW, The Whitley Way

In September 2013, in response to many questions I have had from friends about the Boundary Waters, I posted an essay on the Whitley Way of doing the BWCAW.  It is long and detailed.  If you are not an outdoor enthusiast or camping gear head, you might want to pass.

Enjoy. We'll be back online in about a week.

Flashback Friday

Since we are in Ontario Canada now, I thought it appropriate to share a video from another time in Ontario way back in 2003.  We had paddled from the Boundary Waters in Minnesota into Quetico Provincial Park in Ontario, and would be camping there about a week.  Float planes are not allowed on Boundary Waters lakes, but apparently are allowed in Quetico.  We had hoped the pilot would see us, because there was no way we could get out of his way.

Flashback Friday: A Tandem Unicycle Ride

It's a slow news week here on the home front. Dorcas and I are trying to beat the heat and keep Matilda from eating us out of house and home; or rather keeping her from eating our house and home. I'm hard at work making repairs and modifications to the coach and preparing it for our next trip.

Flashback Friday is a new feature here at "The Adventures of Myron and Dorcas". I know it's not Friday yet, but I just couldn't wait. In this feature I will post some experiences and/or photos from the past. Faithful readers will remember a few weeks ago when we saw a person unicycling on a mountain trail in the Jefferson National Forest. That experience reminded me of one a few years ago when Dorcas was treated to a rare tandem ride on a unicycle. The occasion was the Dixie Classic Fair in WS. Steve Mills is a world class unicyclist and juggler, and Dorcas had no idea what to expect when she was called onto the stage. I'm glad, and I'm sure Mr. Mills is glad, that he didn't call on ME!
