"Everyone has a listening-point somewhere. It does not have to be in the north or close to the wilderness, but some place of quiet where the universe can be contemplated with awe."

Passage from Listening Point by Sigurd Olson

With BWCAW permits getting harder to come by, be more accommodating to others and less independent. Take advantage of the nine-person/four boat limits. Ask your friends to join you on your permit. Share your Boundary Waters experience!

CWCS encourages all visitors to the Boundary Waters to leave no trace. If you packed it in, pack it out.

Let family and friends know of your Boundary Waters travel plans.

Take a Stand
(or in the words of Dorothy Molter, "If you don't think you are getting what you want out of life, you are probably getting what you deserve.")
