In this very special, one-hour episode, you’ll meet Lindsey Gau and Bill Hansen, part of our new, rotating crew of podcast hosts. They each share memories from formative canoe trips–both were 15 years old, and included travels with life-long friends. Below: Bill Hansen, wilderness traveler and the Hansen family at the beginning of their first family canoe trip in June of 1957, taken on the Sawbill Lodge dock on Sawbill Lake. Frank and Mary Alice, Karl, Ranna and the little guy is Bill. Far right: Bill asleep on the dock at Sawbill Outfitters.
And WTIP introduces a new podcast feature called “Keep it Wild,” a conversation with a USFS Wilderness Lead about all things wild.
We also say “see you out there” to Joe Friedrichs and M. Baxley, the founders of the WTIP Boundary Waters Podcast, who in this episode give their parting words, and share interview segments with Emily Ford, Bear Paulsen and Michelle Kwan about connecting to the outdoors. And finally, there’s a look back to Christmas 2015 with Dave and Amy Freeman, Ely Wilderness Adventurers who spent Christmas in the BWCAW, complete with cookies and ice luminaries.
