bwcaw- trip path has been planned

i know you've all been waiting to see where we are planning to go on our bounday waters trip, well wait no longer- the map has arrived! (click here to view for yourself)













some of the finer details that you should know:
we've never taken this path before, it will be brand new to all of us- woohoo!
my brother scott is flying in from australia for this trip, and his friend bob is flying in from pheonix.
we're gonna fish for a couple days on phoebe lake, which is rumored to be absolutely gorgeous.

it's called the 'lady lakes' route
difficulty- challenging
24 miles
13 lakes
2 rivers
17 portages
this is what the book says about it-
"this is a delightful route that stays on smaller lakes and rivers. from kawishiwi lake, you will first head north on the lakes and streams that compose the upper flowage of the kawishiwi river system. at lake polly, then, the route veers southeast and follows the phoebe river to hazel, phoebe and grace lakes. another 'lady lake' (beth) will carry you farther east to alton lake. from there a short portage connects to sawbill lake, where you'll end at the public landing, 20 miles by road from your origin."
"anglers should have plenty of time to wet their lines and they are likely to be well rewarded. good populations of walleyes and northern pike inhabit most of the lakes along the route, and smallmouth bass may also be found in the last 2 lakes."

this is what some people online say about it-
"The Lady Lake Chain is spectacular. I've been thru that chain twice and both times have caught many many fish. Phoebe is absolutely beautiful. It's surrounded by rolling hills and is dotted with beautiful islands. I'd suggest the SW site on the island for camp. Polly is a phenomenal Walleye lake."
"Phoebe River is very scenic with plenty of wildlife: moose, beaver, etc. "

good times- i've already started dreaming about waking up in a tent (one of my favorite things to do in the whole world).
