Winter Camping - Getting Into Good Lake-sd

BWCACAST- Standard Definition Boundary Water Canoeing

On a sunny Friday afternoon we head off into the Wood Lake entry point on the Fernberg Road. Our goal for the evening is to set up camp in Hoist Bay which is on the South side of Basswood lake. This is BWCACAST's first winter camping trip. We have a canvas tent and a titanium stove for our shelter. With our sleds loaded up with warm gear we trudge across frozen lakes and snow covered portages into the night.

The temperatures were quite comfortable with forecasts of high 30s to low 40s. We caught a glimps of a lone wolf lurking along the edge of Wood Lake right at dusk. We hiked on following fresh wolf tracks all the way to Good Lake where we set up camp for the evening.
