Early in the season I guided a Boundary Water’s trip with two outstanding athletic trainers that work out of the Mi5 Crossfit “box” in Lakeville. The goal was 75 miles in 75 hours and it was advertised as a real life fitness challenge. Stormy weather made it all of that, but did not dampen spirits. All participants came back with smiles on their faces and lots of adventure stories. One of the crew even got inked up with a BWCA tattoo to commemorate the journey.
Well it is happening again. This time in bug-free, warm-water 
August.
One of the trainers from last time, Reid Peterson is going to co-lead this one with me. In his words: Amazing wilderness, great times, big laughs, moments of clarity, memories of a lifetime.
The adventure runs Thursday August 21 at 5:30 am to Sunday August 24th 9:00 pm ….3 nights and fours days in the wild.
Once we hit the trail in the BWCA it is an all-inclusive package – canoes, permits, healthy chow, tents, paddles, packs everything except your personal gear
I told Reid this time around I will bring my 30-pound graphite canoes! He smiled. No wilderness camping or canoeing experience is required. Just show up naked and afraid. Actually, some clothing would be a good idea, and a list of recommended clothing will be sent upon registration.
Get on this opportunity, it’s not the Arctic but it’s very fun. (and WILD)
