Boundary Waters Podcast Ep. 108

“Choose your adventure,” those are the words of William Choi, who spoke with the Boundary Waters Podcast about a family canoe trip in the BWCAW in June with three kids, two aluminum canoes, bug suits and exploring a new route.
We also check in with Steve Piragis, owner of Piragis Outfitters in Ely, Minn. for almost 50 years, following a June 18th storm that dumped 4.5″ of rain (or more), across Northern Minnesota, including the BWCAW. As of June 27th, 2024, some roads within the Superior National Forest remain closed due to flood damage, and water levels remain high in the BWCAW, with rapidly changing conditions and some flooded portages and fast moving water.
All that, plus the June edition of “Keep it Wild,” our monthly check-in with the Superior National Forest.

Bug suit!
