BearBrown	05/24/2012 05:38AM It always rains on the trips i have been on. With the exception of one short 3 day trip. Its just part of the experience now.
Savage Voyageur	05/23/2012 10:08PM Looks like they are getting rain now. Stop the rain dancing.
msray53	05/23/2012 09:57PM We are going in to Quetico on Saturday, so maybe the heaviest rains will be over by then. Still it appears we may be living in raingear for much of our 10-day trip. Could be a challenge starting a fire. What a change from a few days ago!
wildernessfan2	05/23/2012 09:31PM quote PINETREE: "We may be going from needing a camel to Noah's Ark." Looks like it on Radar and tomorrow (few hours away) is suppose to be a bigger rain day.. Tomorrow evening. Friday morning.

oldgentleman	05/23/2012 08:54PM I'm going in on May 27. Looks like a good chance of rain for the first half of the trip. Oh well, that's what gore-tex is for.
wildernessfan2	05/23/2012 08:49PM Yep droughts are broken with some flooding..sorry about that and THINK OF ALL THE BUGS! I have been on trips it rained every single day and never got dry. I have had sleet and a sunburn on the same trip. Fortunately I have not had to deal with fire bans. Water is life so for the sake of life I choose rainy trip.
tumblehome	05/23/2012 08:40PM OK guys and gals, be careful what you pray for. Would you rather be in the Bdub during a fire ban or would you rather spend 5 days out there while it rains and pours every fricken day? I only ask because it's rained like the Dickens for the past few days and it's supposed to rain even harder the next few!!!!! :) Tom
wildernessfan2	05/23/2012 08:23PM Yay! A Serious soaker ahead as well.. Nice radar now! Radar Loop
Aaron79	05/23/2012 05:23PM quote Corsair: "let it rain for the next 2 weeks! " NO NO NO! I go out in 5 days.
jcavenagh	05/23/2012 05:02PM That is good news. I hope the rainfall keeps up a reasonable pattern all summer.
Ragged	05/23/2012 03:28PM quote Savage Voyageur: "WoooHooo, looks like Ribeye's and Lobster are back on the menu. " Pickin up a ribeye for the buddy tonight on the grocery run, I'm a sally, so its a fillet for me! quote nctry: " Yep, the way it's rainin' now, you won't have to worry. Have fun Ragged. I have a week to go yet. :)" Thanks, I’m sure I’ll get all the rain and you will get all the sun! I feel almost guilty, this will be my third trip in this spring, but I think this will likely be my last unless I can somehow manufacture some more vacation time, there is always those sick a personal days…..
realandrea	05/23/2012 03:19PM Woot!
nctry	05/23/2012 02:41PM quote Ragged: " Looks like we will get at least 2" of rain on my trip Thursday-Tuesday, the 14' X 10' CCS will be getting a bunch of use! " Yep, the way it's rainin' now, you won't have to worry. Have fun Ragged. I have a week to go yet. :)
Savage Voyageur	05/23/2012 02:29PM WoooHooo, looks like Ribeye's and Lobster are back on the menu.
Ragged	05/23/2012 01:19PM Looks like we will get at least 2" of rain on my trip Thursday-Tuesday, the 14' X 10' CCS will be getting a bunch of use!
bapabear	05/23/2012 01:16PM Good news. Not just for campfires but for the whole region! Going in on June 6 so I agree with Corsair!
Corsair	05/23/2012 01:06PM let it rain for the next 2 weeks!
612er	05/23/2012 12:56PM Yup, I just put a rack of ribs BACK on the menu!
Ragged	05/23/2012 12:25PM sweet! Going in Thursday, had already changed the menu to acount for the ban, now I can go back to the old one!
AndySG	05/23/2012 12:00PM Good News! Let's hope it stays that way for awhile.
boss_angler	05/23/2012 11:54AM EXCELLENT NEWS!! WOOT-WOOT!
