Saturday, September 08, 2018 As a fisherman, I have never had a problem sharing where and how I am able to have success with people I know will treat the land and resources with respect. As an outdoorsman, I make it my mission to talk up the outdoors, the beauty, peace, ease, if you are reading this you probably already know and can think of a better word. There are people who haven’t seen stars or drank pure (gravity filtered) water, gone without cell reception or even seen a wild seagull. Share your experiences with those you love, and pass on that love to them. I hope this trip report reaches some 15 year old out there looking to plan their first boundary waters trip. Spread the love; spread the love of the wild. Why didn’t we decide to take the Jon boat lift halfway across the lake on the way out? I told you we still know nothing. After the easy portage across Alpine, Seagull Lake was nasty. The wind was hootin’ and there were whitecaps across the entirety of the lake, I didn’t notice how big the lake looks on the way in. I don’t think Seth and I would have made it on our first trip but we were able to Island hop across the lake and actually made pretty good time as we only almost tipped the canoe like three times. Seagull outfitters was a shining, golden, beacon as we pulled up winded, but finally done fighting the wind. Seagull and Alpine lake are beautiful, in their own way, just like every other lake I have visited in the BWCA. I love this place, and its good to be able to post this in a group that loves it the same. Its even better to share it with life long friends, and the people you love. Time to plan our next trip, thanks for reading.

Trip Introduction:
We camped on Ogish, SA Knife, Kekekabic and Jasper... had a very relaxed pace and explored the sounds of moving water, hiking bluffs on Kek, and some decent fishing. Since my trip report is in the form of a link to a YouTube slide show, I am not sure how that will fit within the trip report template... We will see...
